Everton have agreed a loan deal with Manchester City for Jack Grealish, with his medical booked for Monday, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Grealish has gone through a tricky few years, falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola last season. After the England international wasn't named in Man City's Club World Cup squad this summer, it appeared that an exit was inevitable in the summer transfer window. With a World Cup approaching next year, Grealish needs to get his career back on track, with regular game time needed to work his way into Thomas Tuchel's plans.
The Toffees are enjoying an exciting summer transfer window so far, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Thierno Barry, Adam Aznou, Carlos Alcaraz, and Mark Travers arriving through the door. Their business certainly isn't done, with David Moyes having a small squad to choose from despite their arrivals.
Fabrizio Romano: Grealish to Everton - 'Here We Go'
Jack Grealish in action for Manchester City
Reporting on X, Romano has confirmed that Everton have agreed a deal to sign Manchester City winger Grealish on loan, with his medical booked later today [Monday]. Grealish has said yes to the Everton project, and set to complete his move in 24 hours.
It's unclear where Grealish would be deployed in Everton's current system, considering he plays in the same position as Iliman Ndiaye, but it will have been difficult to turn down signing the former. Although Grealish isn't the player he once was, during his time at Aston Villa, he's still got the ability to make a positive impact for the Toffees.
