Everton are keen on signing Man City winger Jack Grealish in the summer transfer window.
Everton legend Adrian Heath has claimed that Jack Grealish wants to make the move to Merseyside this summer.
Grealish started only seven Premier League games and was an unused substitute for the FA Cup final loss against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was omitted from City’s squad for the Club World Cup.
With the World Cup taking place next year, Grealish will have ambitions of breaking back into England’s squad but needs to be playing regularly to do so. The 29-year-old has reportedly turned down a move to Turkey, while Serie A champions Napoli are keen.

He needs to play, he needs to feel the love of the coach where [he feels] I'm an important piece of this team and my team-mates rely on me. That's when you get the best version of Jack Grealish.
“I know a lot of people who know Jack really well and I know that he wants this deal to happen. I know he wants to go to Everton. I think it just helps everybody. Everton need something; they need a spark. You saw the influence and impact [Iliman] Ndiaye had when he came to Everton last year.
“If you moved Jack out wide left, moved Ndiaye underneath the centre-forward, Everton would have a real dynamic going forward. Obviously, I played there for numerous years and I know what the supporters like. They love people like Jack, they love people that can make things happen. This is one of them transfers when I look back at my old club and I think: 'You have to make this work somehow.”
