Everton have re-signed winger Jack Harrison on another season-long loan deal from Leeds United, while Newcastle have ended their pursuit of Toffees striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Harrison, 27, spent last season at Goodison Park where he made 35 appearances, scoring four goals.

“It’s brilliant to be back," Harrison told the club's website. "Everton is a great club, there is a fantastic group of lads here and I am excited to get started again with a full pre-season of training."

Meanwhile, Newcastle had shown an interest in signing 27-year-old Calvert-Lewin, but deemed the reported, external £40m deal too costly.

The Englishman is entering the final 12 months of his contract and Everton opened talks over a new contract at the end of last month.

Calvert-Lewin joined the Toffees from Sheffield United for £1.5m in 2016 and has scored 68 goals in 248 games for the club, which includes eight in 39 matches last season.

Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh will now not be joining Everton in a separate deal.

Minteh could instead move to French side Lyon, who have made an enquiry about signing the Gambia international.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan at Eredivisie side Feyenoord, where he scored 11 goals in 37 games under new Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Everton’s prospective new owners the Friedkin Group have injected £200m into the club, which includes paying off a £158m loan owed to MSP Sports Capital and two local businessmen.

Finding a resolution to the loan was a specific condition imposed by the Premier League on 777 Partners, who were unable to find the cash do so and ultimately why they could not secure a takeover.

The remaining £42m will go towards short-term, day-to-day running costs for the Toffees.

A filing with Companies House confirms the Friedkin Group have taken over MSP’s 'charge' on the holding company of Everton’s new stadium.

The date of the filing is shown as 19 June, with the US-based firm chaired by Dan Friedkin agreeing an exclusivity agreement with Blues owner Farhad Moshiri the following day.

The Friedkin Group continue to under take due diligence on the club and BBC Sport understands the intention is for the deal to be completed in weeks rather than months.
