Man City superstar Jack Grealish has been tipped to be successful at his next Premier League club and a move to Everton is increasingly likely due to multiple domestic issues.

The 29-year-old has been at the Etihad since his £100million move from Aston Villa in 2021, but has failed to live up to his price tag.

Last season, Grealish really fell out of favour at City, starting only seven Premier League games and playing just 715 top-flight minutes over the course of the campaign.

With Pep Guardiola clearly not seeing him as part of his future plans, the England international is set for a move this summer.

Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that Grealish can get back to his best away from Man City.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness insisted that Everton would be the perfect destination for Grealish, as David Moyes could get the very best out of him.

The winger has been linked with the Toffees, as well as a number of other clubs, including Tottenham and Napoli.

Wyness added that Moyes would give Grealish more freedom than he has been getting at Man City.

He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “When I was at Villa, I had Jack playing there.

“I really like Jack as a person, and I had a lot of time watching him play.

I’m a great fan.

“I think with Moyes giving him a bit more freedom than he might get at City, this would work.

“Now, what I’ve been saying all along, when this first came up a few months ago, is that I think he would like to stay in Cheshire, and Everton would give him that chance to do that.

“I didn’t think there’d be any hope of him going to Saudi or things like that because Jack is a real homebody and very family-oriented.

His image is that he’s a bit more of a playboy, but that’s not the real Jack that I know.”

Meanwhile, Tyler Dibling could be subject to a bidding war this summer after two Bundesliga clubs joined Everton in the hunt to sign him, sources have told Football Insider.

Dibling has emerged as a viable option for Everton in this summer’s transfer window with Moyes in the market for new wingers.

Football Insider revealed on 2 August that Southampton are willing to accept bids in the region of £45–50million for Dibling this summer, a huge decrease on the £100m price tag they had quoted in January.

The relegated Saints could still stand to benefit from a bidding war though, as sources have told Football Insider that both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are also interested in the 19-year-old this summer.
