Jack Grealish has made a flying start to life at Everton, capped by winning the Premier League Player of the Month award for August.
The 30-year-old winger, on loan from Manchester City, recorded four assists in three league games, helping the Toffees to two early victories.
Grealish Named Premier League Player of the Month
Receiving the award in his birthday week, Grealish admitted he was stunned: “First one. I thought you were winding me up!”
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, his new Everton teammate, presented him with the trophy and called it “well deserved”.
The prize is a reminder that, after a frustrating final spell at City, Jack Grealish’s Everton impact is quickly turning heads across the Premier League.
How Jack Grealish Has Transformed Everton’s Attack
Everton fought hard to bring Grealish to Merseyside, securing him on an initial season-long loan with a purchase option set at around £50 million.
While fans joked that it would take selling over 769,000 “blue doughnuts” at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium to make the deal permanent, his influence has already been priceless.
From his very first appearances, Grealish’s creativity has lifted the team’s attacking play.
His partnership with Iliman Ndiaye has produced two goals already, and his ability to retain possession has given Everton control in key matches.

The buzz around Goodison’s successor stadium has only grown since Grealish’s arrival.
His debut weeks have generated excitement not seen in years, with fans mobbing him at Wolves in scenes reminiscent of the adulation once reserved for club icons.
Merchandise sales back up the hype. The “Grealish 18” shirt is already Everton’s bestseller, with young fans queuing outside the club shop for his jersey the day the move was announced.
His ‘laddish’ but approachable manner has reinforced the bond with the fans.
From late-night autograph sessions after cup wins to time spent with supporters, Grealish has thrown himself into the Everton project – and he seems to be loving every minute of it.
Jack Grealish Work Ethic at Everton
Inside the club, Grealish has been praised for his professionalism. Teammates note that he is often first into training and last to leave, dedicating extra time to recovery and fitness.
Dewsbury-Hall praised his new colleague: “He’s always doing the recovery, doing the right things, ice baths, massages, putting himself in the best possible position to perform for the team.
“He’s played three games this week, which is a credit to him. He’s kept himself in the right shape.”
Manager David Moyes convinced Grealish to join by providing him with a clean slate and the chance to rekindle his joy for the game.
After struggling for minutes at City, Grealish himself admitted he had begun to “fall out of love” with football. At Everton, he looks reborn.
Jack Grealish Everton Impact
Beyond the assists and individual accolades, Jack Grealish’s Everton impact has restored optimism among supporters.
From the club’s point of view, his arrival has raised standards in training, improved results on the pitch, and boosted commercial interest from brands.
Could Everton even make a surprise push for Europe this season? Performances so far suggest it is not out of the question.
In fact, football betting sites currently price the Toffees as long shots for a top-six finish — odds that might shorten quickly if Grealish maintains his current form.
While it’s still early in the season, Grealish’s performances suggest he could be central to Everton’s push up the table — and perhaps back into England contention during this World Cup year.
For a club that has endured years of struggle, his presence is more than just about football. As one fan put it, “Jack Grealish has given Everton the chance to dream again.”
