Jack Grealish is once again set to become the transfer story of the summer at Everton, but he's not letting that affect his time away.

Despite the Premier League season finishing with a whimper for David Moyes and his team, eyes are already firmly set on making that right.

That will start in the transfer window, with Grealish likely a priority.

Grealish has returned to Manchester City as things stand, and despite Pep Guardiola leaving, he is still expected to move on from the Etihad, too.

At the other end of the squad spectrum, Tom King has hardly featured since signing from Wolves last summer at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton awards night catches Jack Grealish eye again

Despite their disappointing end, Everton held their annual awards night on 21 May.

James Garner was the big winner of the night, before Seamus Coleman was once again honoured ahead of his headline summer exit from the Blues.

Now, a week later, King has taken to his Instagram to send his congratulations to the Everton winners on the night.

It didn't escape Grealish that he took his time to send that, though.

How was Tom King's first season at Everton?

Everton signed two goalkeepers ahead of their move to the Hill Dickinson, with King from Wolves being joined by Mark Travers.

They both will have known that their playing chances were limited, given that Jordan Pickford was always going to remain as number one.

Pickford also signed a new contract recently and will head to another World Cup with England this summer at the top of his game.

King has one year left on his contract on Merseyside, and didn't actually play a single minute of senior football last season after signing.

On the other hand, Travers only played twice, both in the Carabao Cup, a win over Mansfield and that defeat at Molineux against Wolves.

Goalkeepers have become a fast pass to satisfying Premier League registration rules in recent years, and King is no different to that at Everton.

He will hope for some game time next season, but the reality of that remains very slim.
