  "account": "In a development that will have fans cheering, Jack Grealish has decided to return to Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City for the second consecutive year. The 30-year-old, who was rejuvenated during his stint at the Toffees last season, expressed his happiness and gratitude in an Everton statement. Grealish credited the manager, his teammates, and especially the fans for their support, saying it has helped him feel at his best in every aspect of life.\n\nGrealish had a perfect time at Everton for the first six months after his injury, after which he stayed on watching the team's pre-season games and the start of the season. He is now ready to train and prepare for the upcoming games. Despite his high price tag of £100 million when he moved from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish has struggled to secure regular playing time at Manchester City due to the arrival of new signings Iliman Ndiaye and Brazilian winger Allan.\n\nThe England international could now make his debut for David Moyes' side in Sunday's home match against Manchester United. Grealish shared his excitement, saying he has been doing everything he can in the past few months to be back in this moment, and that he is looking forward to training and playing for Everton. He added that he will be going to sleep with a smile on his face, ready for training the next day and eager to return to Everton on Sunday.",
