Everton eye loan deal for Man City flop Jack Grealish | OneFootball

“Everton are aiming to secure a loan deal for Jack Grealish,” per The Independent. The Toffees are looking for attacking reinforcement and have turned to the 29-year-old.

Serie A champions Napoli showed interest, but Everton are now in the race for his signature.

Everton believe they have an advantage in the battle for Grealish.

The England international reportedly wants to stay in the north, and joining the Toffees will allow him to stay in Cheshire.

David Moyes’ side has struggled to bring in a winger this summer.

The Scotsman admitted Everton need new additions after losing 3-0 to AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League summer series.

The Toffees recruited Thierno Barry and Mark Travers, with Adam Aznou on the way from Bayern Munich, but the team could use new wingers.

Failing with a move for Malick Fofana, Everton are now eyeing a deal for Grealish, who has endured a torrid time at the Etihad Stadium.

City boss Pep Guardiola dropped him for crucial games last season, making it clear to the playmaker that he is surplus to requirements.

His tenure with the FA Cup finalists has been torrid, managing only 17 goals and 23 assists following his £100 million move from Aston Villa.

Everton must steer clear of Grealish (View). Even on loan, the cost would be exorbitant.

His hefty loan fee and sky-high wages make little financial sense for a club still navigating budgetary constraints.

More importantly, Grealish’s output has nosedived.

He managed a measly three goals and five assists in 32 appearances last season. Everton need better returns from their attackers.

Once hailed as an ‘outstanding talent’, he is now 29 and does not bring the energy or explosiveness the team desperately craves.

Moyes needs a hungry, in-form winger with pace, sharpness, and end product, not a high-profile name coasting on reputation.
