Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has sent a supportive message to Jack Harrison following the winger’s move from Leeds United to Fiorentina. Harrison’s departure marks a significant exit for Leeds during a January window that has seen more outgoings than arrivals.
Transfer Details: Jack Harrison to Fiorentina
After struggling to make an impact under Daniel Farke following his return from Everton, Harrison has headed to Italy on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.
- Structure: Loan until the end of the season.
- Buy Option: Fiorentina has the right to make the move permanent for approximately £6 million.
- Financial Impact: If sold, Leeds would face a loss of about £5 million compared to the £11 million they paid Manchester City for him in 2021.
Calvert-Lewin’s Reaction
The move prompted a social media response from Calvert-Lewin, who played alongside Harrison at Everton last season. Sharing the official announcement on Instagram, the England international wrote: “All the very best, my boy.” Other notable players, including Gabriel Gudmundsson and Noah Okafor, also showed their support for the move.
Is This the End for Harrison at Leeds?
This marks the seventh loan spell of Harrison’s career, and experts suggest his time at Elland Road is effectively over. Having failed to find a consistent role in the current squad, his future now depends entirely on his performance in Serie A over the next six months.
