Everton complete loan signing of Leeds winger Jack Harrison

Everton have confirmed the signing of wide midfielder Jack Harrison from Leeds United on a season-long loan deal.

Harrison had yet to feature for Leeds since their relegation to the Championship, missing the club's first two Games of the season amid injury and uncertainty about his future, and was also a target for Unai Emery's Aston Villa.

But the former Manchester City man has secured a move back to the Premier League with Everton, with a club statement saying of his arrival: "Everton have completed the signing of forward Jack Harrison on a season-long loan from Leeds United.

"The 26-year-old passed his medical with the Club yesterday before completing the necessary paperwork this morning. He will now continue his rehabilitation from a minor hip injury before being available for Sean Dyche’s squad.

"He becomes Everton’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of forward Arnaut Danjuma, defender Ashley Young and striker Youssef Chermiti."

Harrison had been one of Leeds' standout performers during their three-year stay in the Premier League, scoring 21 league goals for the club. Though he will not take to the field immediately, Everton will hope he can make a swift impact and help the Toffees kick on under Sean Dyche.

An opening day of the season defeat to Fulham was not the start the former Burnley would have wanted, but there's cautious optimism on Merseyside that Everton will at least be harder to beat this season - they had a number of chances in the 1-0 loss to Marco Silva's side but profligacy in front of goal cost the Toffees dearly.

"We broke House rules, but we were obedient to our oath," Justin Jones told ABC News. Former Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, the youngest of two Black lawmakers expelled from the Republican-controlled state House of Representatives, spoke out in a new interview with ABC News. Jones slammed Republicans for their partisan vote and described the unprecedented move as a "lynching of democracy." "I believe that this whole process has been unconstitutional ," Jones said, calling the GOP lawmakers out by name for what he believes was a racially motivated political attack. "There are crimes against democracy happening in Tennessee being led by House Speaker Cameron Sexton," Jones said. "They killed democracy in Tennessee…Their action was meant to intimidate. It was meant to humiliate, but what it did was put the state of Tennessee on trial for the world to see," he continued. Rep. Justin Pearson, Rep. Justin Jones, and Rep. Gloria Johnson le...

Erik ten Hag reveals two Man Utd injury boosts but one concern for Everton game

Image
Andre Onana and Luke Shaw are fit and available for Manchester United's trip to Everton on Sunday but doubts remain over Rasmus Hojlund. 27-year-old Onana picked up an injury while away on international duty with Cameroon, raising concerns that he may not be ready for United's visit to Goodison Park. But the summer signing from Inter was able to train as normal on Friday in a significant boost for Erik ten Hag, who will also welcome Shaw back into the fold after three months on the treatment table. Shaw's return is a huge boost for a United squad depleted by injuries to Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, while uncertainty remains over the fitness of Hojlund, who picked up a hamstring problem in the 1-0 win over Luton Town prior to the international break. "Andre is okay," Ten Hag told the media at his pre-match press conference. "He stepped in training today, he's good. Rasmus: still is a close finish. He...
