Everton pulled off masterstroke with Jack Grealish signing for one surprise reason
Everton fans are undoubtedly excited to see Jack Grealish against Leeds United in the Premier League on Monday.
David Moyes’s team will travel to Elland Road on 18 August to commence their 2025/26 campaign against the newly-promoted team.
Grealish could potentially make his debut against Leeds, and it will be interesting to see how he will perform for the Blues this season.
While the England international certainly brings much-needed quality to the Merseyside outfit’s squad, Moyes may have another advantage due to the attacker’s presence.

Grealish to help attract more Everton transfers
Grealish’s arrival at the Toffees may help them attract similar quality targets in the final weeks of the transfer window.
There are definitely multiple benefits of the 29-year-old signing at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and one could potentially be the Blues’ ability to strengthen their team before the end of August.
Moyes will be looking to take a considerable leap in the Premier League after some impressive results last season, and fans will certainly keep an eye on who the Merseyside outfit will sign before Deadline Day.
Joe Thomas wrote in the Liverpool Echo on 18 August: “Chief in Moyes’ mind is the belief that there are multiple strands to Grealish’s potential to transform his side. There is the undoubted ability of one of the most gifted playmakers of his generation.
“There is the idea that his star may enable the club to stick to the quality threshold they are trying to hold firm to as they target more signings in the final weeks of the transfer window.”

Tyler Dibling or Malick Fofana: Who will Moyes sign next this summer?
Southampton forward Tyler Dibling could still be on the move to the Toffees in the coming weeks if the Saints return to the table for a deal.
While the Blues have had multiple bids rejected for the 19-year-old, it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
Another winger Everton have been linked with is Malick Fofana from Olympique Lyon, but the 20-year-old Belgium international wants to play Champions League football.
- Grealish was the Toffees’ sixth signing this summer.
- Moyes wants more bodies in before Deadline Day.
- DIbling could potentially join the Blues from Southampton.
While Everton have signed Thierno Barry from Villarreal, they could arguably do with another quality goalscorer in their team.
Beto didn’t stand out during pre-season, while the 22-year-old Frenchman may need time to settle in the Premier League after his move from LaLiga.
The coming days could potentially bring joy or misery in terms of transfers for the Merseyside outfit, and fans will certainly hope it’s the former.
