- Moyes blown away by Grealish
- Grealish has recorded four assists for Everton
- Midfielder joined on loan from Man City
Grealish continued his impressive start to life at the Toffees after setting up Beto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s goals in the win over Wolves. The 29-year-old, who joined Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City, now has four Premier League assists to his name in 2025-26, having also registered two in the victory over Brighton and Hove Albion on August 24.
Having fallen out of favour at City, making just seven league starts in 2024-25, Grealish is now reminding everyone of the qualities which made him a £100 million player in 2021, none more so than his new manager Moyes.
Speaking after Everton’s victory over Wolves, Moyes said: “He [Grealish] is even better than I thought. He probably needs a bit of love and attention. He needs the games as well.
“Hopefully he starts building on it and he gets even better as the season goes on. He is making a big difference. Whether it is his assists, his presence, lots of things.
“So all credit to him. He is playing the minutes he may not have had in recent years. You know, he’s so good. What Jack gives us is something just on the edge, which, hopefully it’s on the edge of creativeness and maybe scoring goals.”
Grealish will be hoping to continue his fine form as he looks to earn a recall for England ahead of next summer’s World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The former Aston Villa man missed out on Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the international double header against Andorra and Serbia in September, though the German gave him hope of a Three Lions return in the future after revealing he is a “big fan” of his abilities.
Once the upcoming international break concludes, Grealish will face his old club Villa when Everton play host to Unai Emery’s side at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on September 13.
