Jack Grealish emotionally opens up on Everton move - 'I really don't know how or why'

Jack Grealish confesses he is relishing his time at Everton and has pledged to deliver success to Hill Dickinson Stadium. The England star secured a loan switch to the Blues during the summer window after losing his place at Manchester City and being omitted from their Club World Cup squad whilst resolving his future.

Grealish has made an immediate impression at Hill Dickinson Stadium, providing four assists across three league appearances. Before the transfer, the 30-year-old acknowledged he had lost his passion for football, but that sentiment has completely changed. "Yeah, I am [loving it]," he confirmed.

"Honestly, I'm not just saying that at all. Since I've come here, I don't really know how or why the connection's been the way it has, but it's just something that's just happened and it's so lovely.

"Everyone, all of my family say it as well, because they come to every game and they can see it. I just want to thank [the fans] for all the support and all the love.

"Listen, hopefully I can repay you [Everton fans] in so many different ways and hopefully there's many more good times to come."

Grealish, who claimed the Premier League player of the month award for August, has also backed Everton Women and their relocation to Goodison Park.

"I'm so, so close with my two little sisters and my mum. Obviously, my daughter and then my girlfriend as well," he added. "I think women's football is coming on so much since I think when England won the Euros at Wembley, especially since then, and it's so good to see.

"I think it's incredible from Everton to give Goodison Park to the team because I feel like it's like theirs now to go and perform."

He went on to say: "Listen, I've had so many tough games [at Goodison] over the years.

"I know what the atmosphere can be like, so I think it would be nice for people to go and support them and get behind them.

"I think it can be like a fortress for them and I think it would be really good for them to play with that sort of atmosphere and to get as many people there as possible, I think it would be brilliant."
