Everton are in talks to sign Jack Grealish from Manchester City this summer transfer window.
David Moyes is desperate to add quality out wide, having lost Jesper Lindstrom and Jack Harrison, so there is a pressing need to get wingers in.
Tyler Dibling is on Moyes’ radar, and he has asked to leave Southampton, so it looks like that transfer could be imminent.
Jack Grealish is an option on the left flank, and the talks are believed to be over a season-long loan deal, rather than a permanent.
Everton are confident they can reach an agreement to sign the 28-year-old, however, there could still be a late twist.

Everton appear to move one step closer to signing Jack Grealish
Moyes has put forward his project to Grealish as he’s keen to accelerate the deal ahead of the Premier League opener against Leeds United.
Atletico Madrid have recently come in for Grealish, however, El Bobble reports that the England international has agreed to join the Toffees.
Club-to-club talks are still ongoing and according to TEAMtalk, Tottenham Hotspur ‘can’t be ruled out’ from making a late swoop to try and hijack the deal.
The report does note that Everton are firm favourites, though, so it’s all looking very positive at the moment.
Jack Grealish would allow Iliman Ndiaye to move centrally
Grealish’s potential arrival at Everton would be hugely beneficial for Iliman Ndiaye, who many believe operates best in the centre.
Ndiaye has had to ply his trade as a left winger for most of his career on Merseyside despite playing predominantly as an attacking midfielder at previous clubs.
Grealish would likely start as a left-winger with Ndiaye in the middle and Dibling on the right, if all plans materialise.
That would drop Dewsbury-Hall into the number eight role alongside Idrissa Gana Gueye, so it would shape up to be a really strong side.
