Everton are continuing to work on a deal to bring Jack Grealish back to Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the Manchester City winger’s future now likely to be decided in the closing stages of the transfer window. The Athletic reports that the Toffees are working on a second loan for the 30-year-old, who spent last season on Merseyside before a foot injury brought his campaign to an early end. It adds further weight to a move which has gathered momentum over recent days, with talks between Everton and City already reported to be at an advanced stage. Grealish return edging closer Nothing has been completed yet, and that distinction remains important with the deadline approaching. There are, though, several pieces beginning to fall into place. Grealish is understood to favour a return to Everton, while City are prepared to allow him to leave after he was left out of their squad for Friday’s 4-1 win at Crystal Palace. The England international scored twice and provided six assists in the Premier League for Everton last season before injury curtailed what had been an encouraging loan spell. David Moyes refused to be drawn on Grealish when questioned about him last week, although he confirmed Everton were still looking to strengthen their squad. Now the focus turns to whether the two clubs can turn those talks into an agreement before Tuesday’s deadline. For updates on the Toffees throughout the season, take a look at our LIVE!
