Everton gamble on Jack Grealish's return to form with second Manchester City loan

Jack Grealish has re-joined Everton on loan from Manchester City, according to recent reports. The charismatic and gifted player, once a standout for Everton, has struggled to recapture his former brilliance during his initial loan spell. Despite this, he provided a magical touch during his brief time at the club, as noted by The Mirror.

However, allocating substantial resources to a second loan arrangement leaves Everton rolling the dice. Grealish's return journey began last season when he was sidelined after a stress fracture in his foot, but his 22-match stint under David Moyes was generally regarded as successful. However, his brilliance was not consistent - he scored twice in 22 Premier League matches, with four assists in the first three games followed by 14 games without registering another assist.

In total, Grealish has featured in 20 Premier League matches over the past three seasons, scoring six goals and providing eight assists.

Despite his recent struggles, Grealish has been an asset to Everton, and his return could prove beneficial for both his career and the club. His potential comeback to the international scene adds another motivating factor to his return. With one year left on his Manchester City contract, there is a possibility that Everton could secure him for another loan spell. However, Grealish must prove his worth at the highest level once again to justify the significant investment.
