Jack Grealish is clearly enjoying his football again after a difficult period at Manchester City.

Jack Grealish was awarded the Premier League Player of the Month in August, having laid on four assists in just two games.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has admitted Grealish is back on his radar ahead of the World Cup in the US next year.

So, it’s fair to say the 30-year-old is back on track, and now he’s opened up about the main tactical differences between Everton and Man City.

Jack Grealish loves David Moyes’ tactics

Speaking to Sky Sports, Grealish appeared to suggest that he’s a lot happier with Moyes’ tactics compared to Pep Guardiola’s, as he’s been given license to express himself in the final third.

“I don’t mean this in an arrogant way, but I do like it when managers say, ‘you’re the footballer, go and do what you want to do.’

“I’d rather someone just be like, ‘when you get the ball Jack, just go and play’. That’s what he (Moyes) says to me.

“Obviously you have your jobs, you have roles to do without the ball and set pieces, but he says to me, ‘when you get the ball just go and do what you want to do’.”

It was well-documented that Grealish was a lot more restricted under Guardiola, who gave him strict instructions when in possession of the ball.

Everton already considering signing Jack Grealish permanently

Everton hold a £50m option to buy on Grealish and it’s understood they’re considering signing him on a permanent deal, but at a reduced price.

“Everton would be open to signing him permanently when his loan ends and believe his price tag could drop considerably,” BBC Sport reporter Giulia Bould said earlier this month.

“Manchester City have a rough value of £50 million, but this is unlikely to be the real cost come next summer.

“By then, the midfielder would be almost 31 and have just a year left on his deal. The feeling around Blues bosses is they can negotiate a low figure and hang on to their newest hero if he continues to impress.”
