Jack Harrison signed a new five-year deal at Leeds in April
Everton are in pole position to sign Jack Harrison from Leeds United on a season-long loan, despite Aston Villa making a late move for the winger.
Harrison, 26, had a medical at Everton on Sunday before Villa also pursued the Englishman.
However, the fact he is out for a month with a hip injury has cooled Villa's interest.
Harrison joined Leeds in 2021 for £11m from Manchester City, having been on loan at the club since 2018.
Everton, who began the season with a 1-0 home defeat by Fulham on Saturday, have also been in talks to sign Leeds' Italy winger Wilfried Gnonto, but are yet to reach an agreement for the 19-year-old.
Gnonto has refused to play for Leeds and the club have opened disciplinary proceedings against the player.
Everton also have an interest in signing Portuguese striker Beto, 25, from Serie A side Udinese, but talks are not yet at an advanced stage.
