LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — England midfielder Jack Grealish will look to reignite his career after joining Everton on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old Grealish, one of the poster boys of English soccer , became the country’s most expensive player after a 2021 move from Aston Villa to City for 100 million pounds (then $139 million). He was a regular pick in City’s historic 2022-23 season when the team won the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup.
However, Grealish has fallen out of favor over the last two seasons, not even making City’s squad for the recent Club World Cup, and has chosen to move to Everton for a season ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America.
“I’m over the moon to have signed for Everton — it’s massive for me, honestly,”
