David Moyes has said Jack Grealish\u2019s determination to relaunch his career and prove people wrong in the process convinced him that the Manchester City<\/a> outcast could bring excitement back to Everton.<\/p>\n

Grealish is \u201clooking fabulous, in great shape\u201d and in contention to feature in Everton\u2019s Premier League opener at Leeds on Monday, according to Moyes, despite not playing in pre\u2011season having fallen out of favour under Pep Guardiola. The 29-year-old started only seven league games for City last season and was left out of their 27-man squad for the Club World Cup this summer. He was also omitted from the England squad last summer for the European Championship after losing his place following City\u2019s 2023 treble-winning campaign.<\/p>\n

Moyes \u201ctried to get as much information as I could\u201d on Grealish\u2019s problems at City, although he has not spoken to Guardiola about what occurred, but says the player\u2019s hunger to recapture the form that made him Britain\u2019s first \u00a3100m footballer<\/a> banished any doubts over the loan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe knowledge that he thinks he\u2019s got a little bit to prove and to stand up,\u201d the Everton manager said on what convinced him to sign the England player. \u201cI\u2019ve had to do that myself. I\u2019ve had to come back from being knocked down. Sometimes you have to have that resilience to bounce back, to fight back and to show everybody. I just sense Jack is carrying that with him now. I hope it shows through this season because, if it does, then we\u2019ll get a lot of good things from Jack.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grealish was Everton\u2019s sixth summer signing \u2013 a seventh soon followed in the goalkeeper Tom King \u2013 but the squad remains light in several departments with various transfer targets missed. Moyes believes the legacy of recent relegation scraps and no European football has deterred some players but, with Grealish on board, Everton have stated their ambitions clearly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a big thing for me,\u201d Moyes said. \u201cThe club have done brilliantly to build a new stadium. I think now there has to be a building of a football club back inside it, to get it back to where it was and more importantly to get the team back to where it was. We are a long way off at the moment. I don\u2019t think we can do that in this window and make the team what we want it to be, but we are going to need people along the journey to make it more exciting and make people want to come and play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether that is through high-profile players or our league position or how we are playing, we are needing some of them to give us a lift now. There\u2019s been quite a few players who I\u2019ve been disappointed have not chosen to come to Everton this summer and I think that\u2019s because, if you look at the last four or five years, we\u2019ve not been in great shape. Hopefully they are beginning to see a new stadium, great results in the second half of last season, and they start to believe Everton is a good home for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Moyes has said Jack Grealish\u2019s determination to relaunch his career and prove people wrong in the process…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":90857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-90856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
