Man City forward Jack Grealish agrees to join Everton on loan

Everton have agreed a deal to take England international Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Grealish struggled for playing time at Man City last season and was left out of their squad for the final Premier League game of the season at Fulham as well as the Club World Cup in the United States.

Romano posted on X: “Jack Grealish to Everton, here we go! Loan deal agreed with Man City and medical booked later today.

“Grealish said yes to #EFC project and he’s now set to complete his move in next 24 hours. New addition for David Moyes.”

The Englishman joined City from Aston Villa for what was a British record fee of £100m in August 2021.

He has racked up more than 150 appearances, winning three Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup.

However, he made only seven league starts last season as City ended the season without winning a major trophy.

He was an unused substitute during the FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace, with Argentine teenager Claudio Echeverri being given a debut instead.

He would have preferred to join a team in the Champions League, but the likes of Newcastle United or Tottenham Hotspur have yet to make an offer.

A move to Everton does not present the opportunity of playing European football, but it will give him the chance to rejuvenate his career at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Grealish will also be aiming to win his place back in the England squad after he was left out of the Three Lions squad for the 2024 European Championship.
