Jack Grealish joins Everton on a loan throughout Manchester City season

Everton finished the signature of the English winger Jack Grealish on a loan of the Manchester City season.

The 29 -year -old sought a release from the Etihad stadium after only seven Premier League departures for the Pep Guardiola team last season, looking for regular football before the next summer World Cup.

“I am on the moon for having signed for Everton – it’s massive for me, honestly,” said Grenalish. “It’s a big club, with big fans.

“As soon as I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place where I wanted to go. On social networks, I was flooded with messages from Everton supporters, so there is also this side and that’s another reason why I chose Everton.

“I want to thank you for fans for all the messages I have already had. Thank you for all love and support. I hope I can reimburse you now and I am sure I will do it. ”

Grealish won three Premier League titles, a FA Cup, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup since he joined City for British record transfer fees in the summer of 2021.

It was an integral part of the city side which finished a first League, the Champions League and the FA Cup Treble in 2022/23, but was hampered by an injury in the next countryside and has since dropped the hierarchical order.

Grenish said he was “broken heart” to have been excluded from the England EURO 2024 team last summer and targets a return to the international arena under Thomas Tuchel while the World Cup is looming.

Grealish has chosen to bring number 18 to Everton in honor of two former internationals in England.

“There is a reason to (choose number 18),” he said. “There were other figures, but my two favorite English players are never Wayne Rooney and Paul Gascoigne and I know that there are both the number 18 here.

“So, as soon as I knew that this agreement was close, I had a look and the number 18 was free, so it was perfect for me and it was the only number I was going to take from this moment.

“I spoke to Wayne before coming here and I mentioned this to him – from number 18 – so I hope he is so happy.”

Grealish is the sixth summer signature of Everton after the arrivals of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou.

“We welcome Jack to Everton and we are very happy to have it on board,” said manager David Moyes.

“I think we get him at a good time because he lived, he understands the Premier League and we are all fully aware of the levels for which he is able to perform.

“I know that Jack’s ambition is to go back to the England team, so I hope we can help him get there during the season.”

Everton launched his new campaign with Leeds newly promoted on Monday before playing his first Premier League match in his New Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton on August 24.
