David Moyes to thank for potential Everton January deal after what happened with Jack Grealish

David Moyes could be the difference-maker at Everton once the January window opens.

Everton fell to defeat against Arsenal to begin their festive Premier League fixtures and are in need of reinforcements this winter.

The squad at the Hill Dickinson Stadium is looking increasingly thin, especially after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall picked up an injury against Chelsea.

Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are now at AFCON and have left the Toffees even lighter for the upcoming weeks of action.

A move could be on the cards for the Merseyside outfit as Moyes looks set to follow his own Jack Grealish example this winter.

Everton could sign Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City

Everton signed Jack Grealish from Man City over the summer, as an initial loan agreement was reached in L4.

The Englishman has gone on to be an excellent addition for the Toffees and has helped improve their levels this campaign.

Complaints are emerging from certain supporters over performances this season, even with their side sitting in 10th after years of constant relegation battles.

If the Blues want to aim higher across the second half of the season, January moves are going to be increasingly important.

That could see Everton move for Kalvin Phillips as the defensive midfielder looks destined for a winter departure from the Etihad.

After a shocking spell under Pep Guardiola, the Hill Dickinson Stadium could represent a new home for the Englishman moving forward.

The fact that Grealish has moved to L4 and done so well could prove to be the perfect example for him to follow in January.

Jack Grealish could tempt Phillips to Everton

There may be concerns over a move for Phillips on Merseyside, but there is already proof of taking outcasts and helping them thrive this season.

Moyes has taken Grealish under his wing and allowed him to flourish, showing the qualities fans became used to in his Aston Villa days.

The three-time Premier League champion has said he loves playing under the Scottish manager, and his former Man City colleague could follow suit in L4.

Phillips has an undeniable quality and has struggled to showcase it in recent years, but with the right backing, he could finally find his feet somewhere that isn’t Leeds United.
