Jack Harrison set to return to Leeds United from Everton
Jack Harrison could return to Leeds United as Everton consider terminating his loan deal in January, according to Jacob Tanswell.
The Athletic journalist reported on 2 January that the Toffees are interested in signing Jaden Philogene on loan in the winter window but a move hinges on cancelling another loan deal.
This could see Sean Dyche send the 28-year-old back to Elland Road, cutting his temporary Goodison switch short after joining for a second spell in the summer.

The Englishman has struggled for form this season but has still been a regular starter for the Merseysiders in the Premier League.
Harrison has started 11 times in the league this season, being utilised as a substitute on just six occasions despite not registering a goal or assist yet.
That lack of output could tempt the Toffees into cutting his loan short with the chance to replace him with a younger alternative in January.
Philogene is a tricky winger who could add a point of difference to Dyche’s side which may be appreciated more than the Whites’ loanee.
If the winger is to return to LS11 this month, there is every chance that he could feature under Daniel Farke which could represent a boost to his side’s promotion prospects.
It will be interesting to see how this saga develops over the course of the window but it does look as if Everton are considering their options.
Leeds’ fierce rivals the Red Devils have previously been linked with a move for the Frenchman if Bayindir was to leave the club (Alan Nixon), which is looking increasingly likely given Plettenberg’s update on X (2 January).
His update states that “there is an expectation” Bayindir could depart Old Trafford and if he is to leave this window, you feel Meslier could follow suit.
