In a stunning twist to the January transfer window, Manchester City's Jack Grealish has emerged as a shock loan target for Everton. The Toffees are reportedly in talks to secure the England international's services as they seek to add firepower to their struggling attack.
Grealish's City Struggles
The £100m winger has found regular first-team football hard to come by under Pep Guardiola this season, making just five Premier League starts. With competition fierce at the Etihad, a temporary move could benefit all parties.
Everton's Desperate Search for Creativity
Sean Dyche's side have scored just 24 goals in 20 league games this campaign - the fourth-worst record in the division. The Everton manager sees Grealish as the perfect solution to their creativity woes, with his ability to beat defenders and create chances.
Financial Hurdles Remain
While City are open to letting Grealish leave temporarily, Everton must navigate Financial Fair Play restrictions. The deal would likely require City to subsidise a significant portion of the player's £300,000-per-week wages.
Should the move materialise, Grealish could make his Everton debut in their crucial Merseyside derby against Liverpool on February 10th.
