And now, as noted by TEAMtalk, they could be set to turn that temporary deal into a permanent one, despite rumours having emerged earlier in the season suggesting the Whites would command £30m for his signature. Regardless, the report in question writes that Everton are ‘very much on pole position for his signature’, despite alternative interest. It is also suggested that a new price of just £20m has been agreed to sanction his sale, which starts to seem a more agreeable figure for the cash-strapped Thelwell. Although this might mark a fine piece of business, trusting in him to turn good eventually, it has not been the hugely impactful campaign that some would have wanted from the 27-year-old winger. Especially after former Everton midfielder and current pundit Leon Osman had expressed his love for the speedster during his time at Elland Road, even touting him for England one day. But with just three goals and three assists to his name in the Premier League this season, Dyche has every right to be commanding more from one of his two mainstays, with Harrison and Dwight McNeil seldom getting dropped despite neither really setting the world alight. So, even with plans to acquire him permanently, the former Burnley boss might actually be better served dropping Harrison in the near future in order to freshen up the side.
