Jack Harrison is beginning to find his place at Everton as he could be the next in line for a rejuvenation under David Moyes.

As Harrison is now in his second season on loan at Everton, the 28-year-old’s future is up in the air.

Whether returning to Leeds United or signing on permanently with the Toffees, the winger has a big decision to make in the summer.

He has played a vital role in recent weeks due to Everton’s excessive injuries, as Harrison has shined in Everton training.

The winger is proving his worth, but where does Moyes see his future at the club.

David Moyes on Jack Harrison’s role at Everton as future is unknown

It’s a predicament for the winger who hasn’t enjoyed an amazing time at Goodison Park, but Harrison wants a permanent move to Everton.

He’s doing his best this season, and if his form continues it should give him every right to join fully, and Moyes has said Carlos Alcaraz’s arrival might heighten that happening.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Moyes highlighted Harrison’s Spanish-speaking which has played a huge role for the new addition.

“He’s done a great job with Carlos. I think Jack himself needs more confidence,” Moyes said.

“He has done well for us away at Crystal Palace. We need them (players).

“I’m pleased Jack has got back in it.”

Harrison needs to build on Crystal Palace performance for Everton

Since Moyes’ arrival it can be argued that Harrison has been average, but the 28-year-old put in a solid display at Selhurst Park.

The language barrier with Alcaraz ceases to exist, and that certainly helped Harrison with his football last Saturday.

Sean Dyche saw Harrison’s potential at Everton, and maybe fans are starting to understand now.

The winger doesn’t have long left to prove himself, so Harrison must continue in the same vein as Palace.
