show…..
Everton have completed the signing of
Jack Harrison on loan for the season from Leeds United, according to David Ornstein. The Athletic journalist reported via the outlet’s website in the early hours of Monday morning (14 August) that the Toffees had completed a deal for another “key target all summer” with the 26-year-old winger a priority out wide along with fellow loanee Arnaut Danjuma.

Everton are thought to have already seen a £20 million offer rejected for Leeds’
Wilfred Gnonto. That’s according to a recent report from Football Insider, who claims Leeds United will not even consider selling their highly-rated 19-year-old for less than £25 million. With the Premier League side thought to be just £5 million away from forcing their Championship rivals to consider negotiating, Everton’s hierarchy must now decide if they want to put in a second and improved offer for one of their manager’s top summer targets.
Mason Holgate is “keen” on leaving Everton on loan to Southampton amid talks between the two clubs over a deal, according to
Sky Sports. The broadcaster reported via their website on Sunday (7.21pm update on 13 August) that there was still a “big gap” between the Toffees and the Saints over the percentage of his wages the Championship are willing to contribute, but the 26-year-old wants the move “having struggled for first-team football”.

Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for
Everton midfielder
Amadou Onana, according to the Daily Mail.

Everton want to find a replacement for defender
Mason Holgate before letting him move on this summer,
according to talkSPORT. Southampton are holding talks to try to loan Holgate,
however they do not have an agreement on the amount of his wages they would pick up during the spell.
Demarai Gray is “likely” to be sold by Everton now that Jack Harrison has been signed on loan, according to
The Telegraph. The newspaper reported via their website Sunday (13 August) that the Leeds United winger, 26, undergoing his medical the same day, “will arrive on Merseyside on loan”, and current Toffees wide man Gray, 27, is therefore expected to leave.
According to journalist
Alan Nixon, Leeds United are the latest side to join the race for
Tom Cannon. The Whites are in need of attacking reinforcements after the departure of Rodrigo, while
Jack Harrison is closing in on a move to Everton and Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra look set to follow him out the exit door after they were left out of the squad for Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Birmingham City.
