Jack Grealish and Jarrod Bowen aside each other in Everton home kit ahead of Hill Dickinson Stadium
Jack Grealish has once again made headlines for all of the wrong reasons in recent weeks.
The winger has endured social challenges throughout his career, and this is just another example.
Missing training without reason led to discplinary breaches, with Everton suspending him for three games.
Thankfully, the Toffees and David Moyes managed three wins in those games, beating Newcastle twice and Coventry.
Grealish also does a world of good on and off the pitch, but repeat issues don't help his cause at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
So, could it lead to Jarrod Bowen?
What's the latest on Jack Grealish?
Grealish has returned to work at Finch Farm over the past week, looking to regain his fitness.
After working closely with Moyes, Angus Kinnear and the Friedkins to figure out a resolution, it appears this has been left in the past.
The international break has arrived at a good time for him too, as he can work closer with staff to prove himself once more.
With a tough away trip to Brentford welcoming Everton back to Premier League football, he could be needed.
And as his contract at Manchester City expires next summer, you'd have thought he'd be doing all he can to earn permanent status at the Blues.
Could Everton sign Jarrod Bowen?
The footballing world was shocked when Bowen decided to remain with West Ham this summer, staying in the Championship.
But, that hasn't exactly turned out too well.
Sitting outside of the play-off spots, the Hammers have replaced Nuno Espirito Santo with Scott Parker.
Picking up one point from his first available six, that isn't going much better, and just how much must they regret letting Moyes leave now.
Bowen tasted his best success with the Irons under Moyes, including that Conference League glory, and surely he'd love more of the same.
That's the next step for Everton and the Scot.
With Grealish on gigantic wages and not exactly given back the professionalism that deserves, could old interest in Bowen make perfect sense in January?
Captain of the Hammers, a more-recent England international, surely the threat of missing out on promotion could see the winger look at Everton more closely.
The Friedkins have promised to back Moyes in January, regardless of their plans to sell, and Bowen would be perfect.
Able to play as a striker or out wide in roles undertaken with Moyes before, this could be the perfect January signing.
