Everton eye three more transfers with Jack Grealish announcement set
Everton are set to announce the blockbuster signing of Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from Manchester City on Tuesday.
The England international’s arrival will mark the sixth signing of the summer for the Toffees, who are keen to provide David Moyes with a squad capable of climbing the Premier League table this season.
Everton are not expected to be finished there either, with more incomings targeted in the closing weeks of the transfer window.
Moyes’ side will take to the pitch to play Premier League football for the first time this season on Monday (18 August), when they take on Leeds United at Elland Road.
Everton to bolster Moyes’ squad further in coming days
Grealish has been keen on an exit from The Etihad this summer, with Pep Guardiola set to leave him out of his plans going forward.
The Toffees jumped at the chance to sign the midfielder when he became available, with a deal now agreed that will see Everton cover up to half of his £300,000 per week wages.
The deal will also include an option to buy at the end of the season, reportedly worth around £50million.
According to Alan Myers (12 August), Grealish’s arrival will be confirmed by the club on Tuesday.
Everton will then return to the transfer market in search of further signings to expand Moyes’ options, with a new right-winger, a right-back and a defensive midfielder mentioned.
Everton targets could spell trouble for several names
Everton are certainly in need of a right-winger this summer, with that position almost being exclusively covered by Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom last season.
The first winger has since returned to his parent club, Leeds United, leaving the Toffees with a lack of options on the right.
An incoming right-back could spell trouble for Nathan Patterson, who struggled for minutes last season against centre-back Jake O’Brien.

The Scot is hoping to prove his ability to compete at The Hill Dickinson Stadium this season, but could see his chances weakened further.
Idrissa Gueye and James Garner were often paired together at the base of midfield last season, as they prepare to sit deeper behind another new signing, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
And the addition of another midfielder could see both reduced to minutes off the bench, although the departure of Abdoulaye Doucoure should be taken into consideration.
The Friedkins aren’t stopping with Grealish.
