Leeds United currently have a number of players out on loan who do not appear to have a long-term future at the club.

The likes of Marc Roca, Robin Koch and Sam Greenwood are not expected to play for the Whites again if recent reports are correct, though there are some other individuals whose future at Elland Road is more in the balance.

One of those players is Jack Harrison. Harrison was among eight senior members of last season’s first team squad to secure a temporary exit after Leeds‘ relegation from the Premier League.

Harrison ended up securing an immediate return to England’s top-flight with Everton, though no option-to-buy was officially agreed between the two clubs.

However, according to TeamTalk, there is a desire at Everton to make his move permanent, but Leeds will be looking to demand a fee of around £30 million in order to do so.

Harrison has had a decent start to his loan spell at Goodison Park but has began to show the inconsistency in his game that was always apparent at Leeds.

Having scored and assisted on his full Premier League debut, Harrison has come in for some criticism after Everton’s last two matches due to a lack of end product in the final third.

The 26-year-old was always pretty reliable for attacking output at Leeds, but there is no doubt his tendency to blow hot and cold was a source of frustration for supporters.

It appears as though that is transferring to Everton. The Toffees will have money to spend if 777 Partners’ takeover of the club goes through and Premier League survival is secured for another year.

If Everton agree to San Francisco 49ers Enterprises £30 million demands, Leeds would be making a profit of around £19 million, which would be an unbelievable piece of business.
