Jack Harrison, currently on loan at Everton from Leeds United, could be at a pivotal moment in his career as the summer transfer window approaches. His future remains uncertain, with multiple factors influencing where he will play next season.
Despite struggling for form at Goodison Park for much of the campaign, Harrison has shown signs of improvement under the guidance of returning manager David Moyes. The 28-year-old has yet to contribute a goal or assist in the Premier League this season, though he has been part of a team that struggled creatively under previous boss Sean Dyche.

Recent reports from the YEP indicate that a move back to Major League Soccer could be a possibility, with clubs in the United States showing interest in the former New York City FC winger. However, such a move would likely only materialize if his prospects in the Premier League diminish. With both Leeds and Everton expected to retain their top-flight status next season, there remains a chance for Harrison to revive his career in England’s top division. Still, given his inconsistent performances, there is no certainty that Everton will push for a permanent deal.
At Leeds, manager Daniel Farke has a wealth of wide options and has made it clear he only wants players fully committed to the club. This could make Harrison’s return to Elland Road unlikely unless circumstances change over the summer. A conversation between the player and Farke is not out of the question, as seen with Brenden Aaronson and Max Wober, who rejoined the squad after exercising loan release clauses last season.
Interestingly, at Everton, Harrison has taken on an unexpected role, assisting January signing Carlos ‘Charly’ Alcaraz as a translator. He has been seen in club media helping the young Argentine midfielder navigate post-match interviews. While this off-field contribution is valuable, his long-term stay at the club will depend more on an upturn in his performances rather than his linguistic abilities.
Looking ahead, Harrison may find himself lower in the pecking order at Everton once Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil return from injury. Given that Leeds are likely to set a high asking price due to the winger’s three remaining years on his contract, Everton’s willingness to invest in a permanent move appears questionable.
A reduced-price transfer could provide a solution for all parties, but Leeds are not in a position where they need to accept a cut-rate deal, especially if they secure Premier League status for next season. A club spokesperson has confirmed to the YEP that discussions regarding Harrison’s future will take place at the end of the season.
