Everton could reignite their interest in signing Leeds United winger Jack Harrison despite opting against a permanent deal when his loan spell ended.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed what sources have told him about the 28-year-old’s future at Elland Road and a possible return to Merseyside.
David Moyes is “desperate” to strengthen his team out wide this summer after losing both Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom when their loan deals expired.
Former West Ham scout and Moyes ally Mick Brown told Football Insider in March that Moyes did not rate Harrison as part of his plans for the future at Everton.
However, if they fail in their pursuit of other key targets for the position, the Leeds man remains on the list of options at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
After two seasons on loan at Everton, Harrison is believed to have burnt his bridges at Leeds, and is now keen to make a permanent move away.

Everton could make surprise Jack Harrison signing from Leeds
Former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson told Football Insider that Leeds want £10million to sell Harrison, but could let him leave on loan again.
Daniel Farke is keen to move the winger on as he is not a part of his plans for the Whites’ return to the Premier League following last season’s promotion.
O’Rourke explained that a surprise return to Everton could be on the cards despite opting against a permanent deal previously.
“He did okay at Everton,” he told Football Insider.
“I was quite surprised that Everton didn’t decide to make that deal permanent, because we know they’re desperately in need of wingers.
“Jesper Lindstrom has also left after his loan, and David Moyes is still looking to bring wingers in.
“I’m sure he [Harrison] remains on that list of players they are considering signing at Everton.
“If they don’t get other potential targets for those winger slots in the team, maybe they will rekindle their interest in signing Jack Harrison.
“His bridges have been burnt at Leeds having gone out to Everton twice on loan, Leeds have moved on.
“Harrison will probably have to move on this summer as well, in search of regular first-team football.”

Harrison is not the only player Everton are looking to sign this summer, however, as they have also set their sights on a deal for Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi.
Football Insider revealed on 13 July that Everton are racing Man United to sign Ndidi, who has a £9million release clause in his contract at the King Power Stadium.
Crystal Palace, Fulham and Juventus are also believed to be keeping tabs on the Nigeria international, in a deal that has been branded “the bargain of the summer”.
This comes after Brown told Football Insider on 3 July that Everton will reignite their interest in Ndidi this summer after missing out last year.
