The final day of the Premier League season is upon us and Everton are in action at St James’ Park, as they take on Newcastle United.

It’s a big game for the Magpies as they have to win to ensure qualification to the Champions League, meanwhile, for Everton they can only finish in 13th place no matter what.

A 13th place finish has banked Everton £140m in prize money, so they’re expected to use a large chunk of that in the summer transfer window, which is fast approaching.

David Moyes and his recruitment chiefs have been drawing up a list of targets over the last few weeks and months.

Liam Delap is being linked with a move to Goodison Park, whilst there has been talk of Burnley’s centre-back Maxime Esteve.

Now, Moyes has just received a transfer boost in his potential pursuit of a Premier League winger.

Everton-linked Jack Grealish left out of Man City squad

Jack Grealish has been mooted with a move to Everton this summer transfer window, with David Ornstein suggesting Merseyside could be an option for the out-of-favour Manchester City winger.

Now, in a boost for the Toffees, Grealish has been left out of Man City’s final matchday squad against Fulham this afternoon.

Evidently, it’s a bold move from Pep Guardiola and one that surely means Grealish will be on the move when the window opens at the start of June.

The 39-cap England international has started just seven league games all season, with young Jeremy Doku preferred on the left flank.

Ornstein has also mooted Newcastle United as a possible destination for Grealish, so Everton likely won’t be alone in their interest if they launch a proposal.

Grealish ready to push for exit

According to talkSPORT, Grealish is eager to leave the Citizens at the end of the season and will push through a move.

The 29-year-old was unhappy at being left on the bench in the FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend.

He knows he must be playing regular football to ensure he gets into Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad next summer.

Grealish has been left out of the latest Three Lions squad, so it’s pretty clear a move away from the Etihad Stadium will be best for his international career.
