Premier League club confirm talks postponed with Leeds United over transfer for Whites winger

Harrison has spent this term on loan with the Merseyside club, helping Sean Dyche's team stave off relegation despite being hit by two separate points deductions during the course of the campaign.

Everton finish their 2023/24 season away to Arsenal this weekend with an agreement on Harrison's future yet to be struck with parent club Leeds.

The Whites will postpone talks over the player's future until the outcome of their Championship play-off final is determined next Sunday. Harrison remains contracted at Elland Road until June 2027 after signing improved terms in April last year.

A statement from Toffees director of football Kevin Thelwell read: “We also thank Arnaut [Danjuma] and Jack for their roles in the progress made by our Men’s Senior Team this season under Sean and his coaching staff. We will continue discussions with Leeds regarding Jack’s future in the coming weeks.”

Everton's press release provided additional context to the negotiations, stating: "Everton will continue dialogue with Leeds over the future of forward Harrison when the Yorkshire club’s current Championship play-off campaign is completed."

Leeds are likely to need wingers in the event of defeat next Sunday, due to the well-documented interest in wide duo Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto, which could complicate Everton's desire to retain the 27-year-old. Whether Daniel Farke would prefer to look further afield or reintegrate the ex-Manchester City man, though, remains to be seen.

Harrison has scored three Premier League goals and registered a further three assists for Dyche's team this season.
