Leeds United confirm departure of winger with relegation contract clause activated

The winger has secured an immediate return to the Premier League with a move to join Sean Dyche’s side, after a medical was completed on Sunday. Harrison is the latest in a long line of players to leave Elland Road on loan thanks to relegation clauses in their contracts.

Both Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur showed fleeting interest in the 26-year-old this summer, whereas Everton remained keen on him throughout. Aston Villa did make an attempt to hijack the deal on Sunday but Harrison, by that time in the throes of completing the move to Goodison, decided to stick to his guns and become a Toffee.
