Jack Grealish is a rockstar. Between 2019 and 2021, the English winger impressed all of England with a crazy season under the colors of Aston Villa. Author of two big seasons in the Premier League, the native of Birmingham had caught the eye of Manchester City who had decided to bet 117 million euros on him in 2021. With a tumultuous course, socks down and huge calves, Jack Grenish also had a style that should have allowed him to become a star after this huge transfer to the Skyblues. After a first season of running down with the Cityzens, Grenish exploded in the 2022-2023 season. Impressive on its left side, number 10 of the Skyblues had managed to make its way in the eleven of Pep Guardiola in the best season in the history of the Mancunian club.

A craftsman of the memorable triple, we thought that the English international (39 selections, 4 goals) was definitively launched. That Nenni. Always having difficulty being rigorous and having continuity, Grenish was quickly downgraded by the Catalan coach. Worse still, his many escapades where he was seen into drunkenness in Manchester bars only complicated his passage to the Skyblues. Become Persona Non Grata last season, the former Irish international compiled only three goals and five assists in 32 matches in all competitions. Insufficient efficiency and sporadic status that prompted Grenish and City to think about an outing this summer. A dead end that has settled with a loan to Everton. In a whole new ambitious project, the Toffees decided to recruit the 29 -year -old striker to have a leader of the attack worthy of the name. And for the moment, this bet promises to be fruitful.

Jack Grealish is angel in Everton

Standing for the first time this Sunday against Brighton during the first meeting in the new case of the Toffees, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the winger delivered a recital. Offering a caviar to Iliman Ndiaye for the opening of the score, the new number 18 of the Mersey club also issued a second assist in the second half to secure the success of his new team. A performance that necessarily made him happy after the meeting: “Is it a great day?” We said before the match that we wanted to offer a show to the supporters. For the club itself, it was a great day to enter the new stadium. It was the perfect day. I think we dedicated this match to all supporters. For me, it's just as important. Mark goals in football is very important, but when I played with Kevin de Bruyne, it was from him that I learned the most things in football. The assists are just as important as goals, in my opinion. ”

Fragging the joys of a full match since his departure from City, Jack Grenish has not hidden his joy at the idea of ​​becoming important again in a team that plays in the Premier League: “I felt very good. It was nice. I don't want to say that I didn't feel free before (in Manchester City). Today, in the field, I could derive, I could do what I wanted more or less and play with a little freedom. I was very satisfied with the performance of the team and mine too. The last time I played 90 minutes was in April or March. Almost four or five months ago. I'm happy to have done this in a difficult game. As far as I'm concerned, I think that today I was not at all fit. I hope I can do much more and better performance. It's a pleasure to play for this team in this stadium. ” You will understand: Jack Grenish is in Angels in Everton.
