Everton join race to sign a “generational” talent in Jack Grealish repeat
Everton have now reportedly joined the race to sign a Premier League ace, who is looking to leave his current club when the January transfer window swings open.
Everton join race to land Jack Grealish repeat
Everton finally got things right on the transfer front in the summer window. After years of transfer flops, the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish have ended the curse by thriving ever since joining up with David Moyes’ side.
Grealish has particularly impressed, getting back to his best following a much-needed loan move away from Manchester City. The golden rule is never fall in love with a loan player, but the England international seems to adore those in Merseyside just as much as they adore him.

He’s enjoying an impressive season.
He recently told reporters: “I always have a connection with fans at every club. I’ve got an unbelievable one with the Everton fans.
“I spoke to the manager a lot on FaceTime over the summer and it felt right. He’s helped me to get back to my level. I’m playing and training with enjoyment. It’s been the perfect fit.”
It’s only right, then, that The Friedkin Group are already looking to repeat their genius by signing more stars who are struggling at the top of the Premier League.
Ahead of the January transfer window, the Toffees have already been linked with Chelsea’s Tyrique George. The young forward has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge this season and Everton could take full advantage.
But he’s not the only young star on their shortlist. According to Il Mattino, as relayed by CN24 and Sport Witness, Everton have now joined the race to sign Kobbie Mainoo on loan from Manchester United next month. The Carrington graduate is keen to secure a loan move away from Old Trafford and the Merseyside club could offer him exactly that.
Everton should go all out to sign Mainoo
It’s been a tumultuous time for the Mainoo since the arrival of Rubem Amorim. A player who was so highly rated by Erik ten Hag and someone who had an FA Cup final goal to his name against rivals Manchester City has become nothing more than a frustrated substitute under the former Sporting CP boss.
Amorim denied Mainoo the chance to leave on loan in the summer, telling the 20-year-old to simply fight for his place, but is yet to hand his academy graduate the chance to land a knockout blow.
Amorim’s trash could quickly become David Moyes‘ treasure, however, especially if Mainoo gets back to his best. It was only in 2024 that Paul Scholes compared the Man United man to the great Zinedine Zidane and that Rasmus Hojlund described him as “generational”. Now, Everton could land an incredible January coup for a player once valued at £79m last September.
