Sean Dyche wants player's permanent transfer at Everton as update emerges.

According to Leeds Live, Jack Harrison’s loan agreement at Everton from Leeds United does not include a permanent transfer option.

On December 18, the Yorkshire publication said on its website that Sean Dyche “would be keen” to retain the winger at Goodison Park for an extended period of time, but that no pre-agreed provisions were in place to make it happen.

Alan Myers of Sky Sports had earlier stated that there might be a release clause allowing the 27-year-old to make the move permanent when he made the summer trade, but it doesn’t seem like that is the case.
Since fully recovering from the hip injury he had when he arrived on Merseyside, Harrison has made 13 appearances across all competitions, contributing three assists and one goal to Dyche’s team’s outstanding run.

When recently questioned by Sky Sports (9 December, 11.43am) on whether he will remain at the team following his season-long loan, he stated he will “review options in the summer” but remained evasive.

Dyche’s desire to keep Harrison at Everton is understandable given that the player has shown to be a significant asset to the team since his tardy promotion to the starting lineup.

He played in every game since making his Toffees debut on September 27, when they defeated Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup. The only game he didn’t start was the Premier League match three days later against Luton Town.

What happens in the summer could go either way because of his performances under Dyche this season, which has raised hopes within the club that he stays permanently. If Leeds are promoted, they will undoubtedly look to re-add him to Daniel Farke’s squad, and other Premier League teams will almost certainly be keeping an eye on him as well.

He was on the verge of a permanent £20 million move to Leicester City in January of last year [The Athletic, 1 February], but he signed a new long-term contract after the move was canceled and went on to play some of his best football at Everton. If he moves permanently, his price tag will probably be much higher.

If a takeover isn’t completed, it will be extremely improbable that the club closes a big-money agreement to keep him around, and even then, it’s unclear what kind of spending power a 777 ownership would mean. Goodison Park’s finances are currently a continuous worry.

The Americans’ ability to complete their buy-out is still in doubt, therefore it’s still unclear who will be in charge and what kind of budget Everton will have for the upcoming summer.

It appears that the club would need to start a contract negotiations from beginning if Dyche wants to keep the wide player in his lineup, and that becomes the most important factor to take into account.
