Jack Grealish named Premier League Player of the Month for August | OneFootball

Everton’s Jack Grealish has been named the Premier League’s player of the month for August after making a brilliant start to his career with the Toffees.

Grealish has won the prestigious award for the first time in his career after registering four assists in his two league starts - in wins over Brighton and Wolves. He made his Everton debut as a substitute in their campaign opener against Leeds United.

Grealish was part of an eight-man shortlist that also included Riccardo Calafiori, Hugo Ekitike, Marc Guehi, Erling Haaland, Joao Pedro, Antoine Semenyo and Dominik Szoboszlai.

He is the first Everton player to win this award since Dominic Calvert-Lewin in September 2020.

Before joining the Blues, Grealish had provided two assists in the same match only twice in his career - a feat he has already matched in his first two league starts for the club. He is also the first Everton player to register multiple assists in consecutive Premier League games.

Grealish will be looking to become the first to do so in three straight Premier League matches as he prepares to face his boyhood club, Aston Villa, this Saturday.
