Everton agree to re-sign Grealish on loan from Man City

Everton have agreed a deal for Jack Grealish to return to the club on a season-long loan from Manchester City .

The 30-year-old is set for a medical at the Toffees, with his move expected to be completed before Tuesday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline.

Grealish spent a large chunk of last term at Everton under a similar arrangement, scoring twice and providing six assists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.

The England winger had been linked with other teams - including his boyhood club Aston Villa - but his preference was to return to Everton , whose chief executive Angus Kinnear told BBC Radio Merseyside they had "remained in contact" with Grealish.

With Toffees winger Iliman Ndiaye, 26, expected to complete a £65m switch to City , the Merseyside club want to bolster their attacking options before the deadline.

Everton also look to be closing in on the signing of Monaco and USA forward Folarin Balogun in a £40m deal.

However, their bid to re-sign Brazil striker Richarlison from Tottenham appears to have stalled over personal terms.

Grealish, who joined City from Villa for £100m in August 2021, has made two appearances for Enzo Maresca's side this season.

He came on as a substitute in their Community Shield defeat by Arsenal before coming off the bench in a win against Bournemouth in their Premier League opener.

Meanwhile, Everton 's Scotland defender Nathan Patterson could move to Serie A side Torino before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Talks are under way between the clubs about a deal for the 24-year-old. It is not yet clear whether any transfer would be on loan or a permanent move.

Everton are next in action on Sunday, when they host Manchester United in the Premier League (14:00 BST).
