Everton could unlock the potential for a huge deadline day if they are to sanction one specific exit.

There has been no movement from Everton in the winter transfer market as the clock edges near to the deadline.

A lot can still unfold over the coming hours, but there is considerable work needing to be done if Everton are to reach their two signings target which was set out.

David Moyes’ arrival back on Merseyside has gone a long way already towards pulling the Toffees clear of the relegation battle.

Everton are set to sign Carlos Alcaraz on deadline day with his contract ready to be inked.

But it is one potential exit which could really get the ball rolling at Goodison Park.

Fulham keen to sign Everton loanee Jack Harrison

It has been a dismal 2024/25 campaign for Jack Harrison who has been criticised for his displays in an Everton shirt.

The winger is yet to return a goal or an assist for the Toffees this season.

According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are showing late interest in potentially landing Harrison who is currently on loan from Leeds United.

The 28-year-old has struggled all season and the arrival of Moyes has not done him any favours.

But it looks as if there is the possibility his time on Merseyside could come to a premature end with interest from elsewhere in the Premier League.

Everton are keen to sign another forward on deadline day and the exit for Harrison could only heighten that need.

A lot could still unfold on this final day of transfers.

Offloading Harrison would unlock Premier League loan space

Everton have had some real issues this past month when it comes to freeing up room to make some transfers happen.

Chelsea have refused to cancel Everton’s loan of Armando Broja which has certainly hindered the Toffees in the market.

Harrison has played 61 minutes across Moyes’ opening four games, which leaves a big opportunity for the Friedkins to unlock a big opportunity in the market.

The winger has not offered Everton much all season, by agreeing his exit to Fulham, Everton could then go and land themselves a loan signing who could improve their squad.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is a player Everton like and he could be available on a loan basis.

Sanctioning Harrison’s exit on deadline day could lead to something so much bigger for Everton.
