Jack Harrison has rejoined Everton on a season-long loan from Championship club Leeds.
The winger spent last season at Goodison Park, making 35 appearances in all competitions as the Toffees avoided relegation under Sean Dyche.
He has now agreed another temporary switch to Merseyside for the 2024-25 campaign, becoming Everton’s second signing of the summer after 20-year-old midfielder Tim Iroegbunam’s arrival from Aston Villa.

Harrison told the club’s official website: “It’s brilliant to be back. Everton is a great club, there is a fantastic group of lads here and I’m excited to get started again with a full pre-season of training.
“Last year, I had a lot of enjoyment at the club. We had to face a lot of adversity but we were able to continue on and have a good season overall.
“There are a lot of reasons for wanting to return to Everton. I think the club in general – the fans, the staff, the manager, my teammates – everyone made me feel really comfortable right away and that’s somewhere you want to be as a player. It’s a great place to play football.
“The other thing is I know I have a lot more to offer. That’s extra motivation for me to go back and prove to myself and to Everton that I can do more on the pitch.”
An injury-hit start to the campaign saw the 27-year-old have to wait until October for his first start in the Premier League.
But he soon became a key man for Dyche, scoring three goals and providing three assists in the league.
Dyche said: “We’re pleased Jack will be returning to our squad and look forward to working with him again.
“He made an important contribution to the progress we made last term, both in terms of our attacking output and the defensive steel throughout the team, while his work ethic and willingness to put in the hard yards matches what we expect from our players.”
