Everton clearly pulled off a bargain after signing Jack Grealish on loan again from Manchester City.

The 31-year-old enjoyed a fruitful spell at the Toffees last season before picking up an injury in January.

With plenty of speculation around the forward's future at the Etihad Stadium after Pep Guardiola's departure, the Blues eventually got him back just before transfer deadline day.

Grealish has had a clear impact since returning to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The attacker's quality on the ball is evident whenever he's in possession, giving David Moyes a much-needed game changer up front.

There's a tangible difference in the Merseyside outfit's performances when the Englishman plays and his numbers prove it.

How Jack Grealish is outperforming former Manchester City teammates

Grealish is still getting up to speed at Everton and the international break will surely give him time to settle in again.

The forward started his first game for the Toffees in the 1-0 win against Ipswich Town, playing around 80 minutes.

Moyes hasn't rushed the winger back into the starting lineup, but he did provide quality off the bench in the draws with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

In total, Grealish has played 136 minutes in the Premier League and created four chances per 90, the most among players with 90-plus minutes, according to Squawka.

Rayan Cherki is averaging 3.5, Savio 3.4 and Marcus Rashford 3.3 with their respective clubs.

How Everton could shape attack after international break

Everton have several players on international duty and Moyes will certainly have kept an eye on their performances.

Brennan Johnson, Tyrique George and Tyler Dibling are getting minutes during the break, which may help them maintain match fitness.

Thierno Barry is the only natural number nine at the Scottish manager's disposal and will likely keep his place in the starting lineup for the trip to MKM Stadium on 11 October.

The two young Englishmen have impressed at the Merseyside outfit this season, but the former Chelsea ace may get the nod to start against Hull.
