Everton Are Growing Optimistic About Signing 31-Year-Old Attacker Permanently: Why Will It Be A Very Good Move? | OneFootball

Everton have been looking to make a good comeback in the ongoing season. A few bold steps have already shown their growing ambition. The team’s recent rise in form reflects a club silently rebuilding its identity under David Moyes. Amid the noise around the Premier League, a story has started to take shape.

It could define their long-term direction. Jack Grealish now thrives at Goodison Park and drives this transformation. His strong performances on loan have drawn the attention of everyone. According to the Daily Mail, Everton believe that they have a real chance to keep him permanently next summer.

The report says Grealish could be available for under £50 million. That figure sounds surprisingly reasonable for a player who once ranked among England’s elite. Everton believe more strongly in the move as his market value keeps dropping. After the 30-year-old rediscovered his rhythm on Merseyside following a frustrating spell at Manchester City, Grealish found both form and purpose.

His energy on the pitch shows a man eager to prove himself again. The winger controls the ball with confidence, drives forward, and continues to lift Everton’s attack to another level. As his influence grows, the club continues to strengthen its recruitment plans.

We reported earlier that Everton continue to monitor Charlie Cresswell, which shows that Moyes wants more reinforcements. Interestingly, Manchester United also want to sign Everton midfielder James Garner, which shows how quickly the balance of talent has started to shift.

Why Grealish matters to the Toffees’ Future?

Grealish’s presence changes Everton’s rhythm. He plays with freedom, he beats defenders, sets up teammates, and leads counterattacks with his usual flair. After the 30-year-old struggled for consistency at Manchester City, Grealish now looks full of confidence again.

His four assists in seven league matches so far means more than numbers; they show a player who has regained his creativity and spark. In Moyes’ system, he finds open spaces and uses turnovers to build dangerous attacks, especially from the left side. His impact goes beyond tactics.

The fans continue to embrace Grealish, and his leadership already shapes the dressing room. If the Toffees keep him permanently, it will secure Everton’s attacking core and strengthen the  that the club can aim higher again.

His age may help their cause, too. Reports claim his price could drop further, making a permanent move both sensible and realistic. A signing like this will strengthen Moyes’ project and prove that Everton no longer wait for change; they create it themselves.
