Everton head coach David Moyes is open to the idea of retaining the services Jack Harrison. Harrison has spent two seasons on loan at the club from Leeds United.

The 28-year-old is approaching the end of his loan spell, which has frankly been underwhelming. He has struggled for form and has just five goals in 69 appearances for the Blues.

According to a report in iNews, Moyes has apparently been impressed with the 28-year-old winger’s attitude and is open to the possibility of extending his stay at the club.

This season, he has made 34 appearances for the Toffees and has one goal and one assist.

Leeds United, meanwhile, have likely moved on from Harrison and would welcome the departure. The Yorkshire-based club, having already secured promotion, are well-stocked upfront. Daniel Farke can count on Daniel James, Wilfried Gnonto, Largie Ramazani, and they are also seeking to make Manor Solomon’s loan from Tottenham Hotspur permanent.

Can he play Right Back? Nowhere else in the first team please.

Moyes has to go to SpecSavers. 🤓

I think he's got a great attitude. He's just not very good at football.

If Moyes does re-sign him, it'll be a huge red flag that he's not going to take us forward as an attacking force and is going to be focused on defence and being negative.

When he's good, he's worth a place in the side… but too often he can't deliver the crosses and lacks the pace required.

Shame because he comes across well otherwise.

Would be a complete waste of money on transfer plus his £90k-a-week contract. He's absolutely garbage – makes McNeil look like Zico.

My only use for him would be to stick him in the U21s. Any players in the squad below his level need to be looking for another profession.

Leeds don't want him… I wonder why?

I don't think the reason is they have other options either.

Red flag already.

Squad player and played on the left, maybe.
But he needs coaching on his game. Offers nothing.

Should always be behind McNeil and Ndiaye.

What's he like at left-back…?

Mike @3,

Were you expecting anything different?

Moyes is becomming like Dyche with his "favourites". Nobody who's watched us play in the last 2 seasons would think it's a good idea to sign him. Zero threat to the opposition.

Moyes, man, you have money to spend and improve the team; look at his stats and tell me you think he's more than a Championship player. Sigh.

Let's hope that Moyes isn't turning into Dyche and going backwards – we don't need players who run around trying to look good but offering nothing at all. If that was the case, the vast majority of fans could do that job and gladly trouser £90k a week.

May as well let Virgina go and keep Begovic. If he retains half of those on the end of contracts or loans, we will be fucked again next season in the new stadium.

We want players who are workhorses but offer the maximum and at least weigh in with goals and assists instead of looking good running around. I'm already (after seeing this and Doucoure possibly being extended) not looking forward to next season and this one isn't over, talk about blowing your hopes and lowering your expectations, for fuck's sake!

I believe that Moyes has just hit a ceiling that is determined by that bitch known as the reality of what he has inherited.

I see Harrison as a decent, hard-working, squad player for someone but not the team that Everton should aspire to be.

I don't know what Moyes is thinking of though, extended loan for the transition period? Surely not a long contract?

I looked up the iNews report and it offers no evidence for this apart from the assertion that Moyes ‘seems' open to extending Harrison's time at the club.

More journo bollocks I suspect.

No, no, no, no, no, no and a BIG NOOO!

34 appearances: one goal: one assist.

The Ghost of Moyes Past is knocking on the door.

Surely this is just click-bait journalism.

Not sure who will have the final say on recruited or retained players for next season, but if Moyes publicly states he wants to sign the likes of Harrison, then he himself needs to be shown the door.

OMG no no no, I'd be really disappointed if true but not surprised, like I've said before he's a Moyes type of player. I can see him keeping Harrison and not Alcarez who's too much of a footballer for Moyes.
Paul Hewitt

He wouldn't be a starter. But we do need a squad.
Paul Smith

You know he's starting for us at the Bramley Dock.
Jeff Armstrong

George 16 is so right, if Harrison is at EFC next season and Alcaraz is not, then Moyes is person non grata for me.

I said months ago that 'hard workers' like Harrison (and Doucoure) will find it very hard to get dropped from a 'Moyes Team'.

Moyes will be Moyes - and nothing will change that.

Has anybody even thought, that the New Owners have told Moyes to make do and mend ?
