Transfer Deadline

Everton agreed a deal to re-sign Jack Grealish on a season-long loan from Manchester City, bringing the midfielder back to Goodison Park before the window closed. The move marks a dramatic return for the England international, who previously spent time at the club earlier in his career. Everton beat several rivals to secure the loan deal, with the agreement finalized just ahead of the transfer deadline. The 29-year-old joins on a temporary basis as Manchester City opted to let him leave for regular first-team football. Grealish is expected to slot directly into Sean Dyche's starting lineup, adding creativity and experience to the Toffees' attack. The loan includes no option to buy, according to sources close to the negotiations, meaning he will return to Manchester City at the end of the season. Everton fans have reacted enthusiastically to the news, with the club confirming the signing on their official channels shortly after the deadline passed.
