New Delhi, Sep 12 (NationPress) Jack Grealish from Everton has been named the Premier League's Player of the Month for August. The talented attacking midfielder, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday, topped the list through a combination of fan votes and selections from a panel of football experts.
He received his accolade from Evertonian content creator Andy Castell at Finch Farm after outshining an eight-player shortlist that featured Riccardo Calafiori, Hugo Ekitike, Marc Guehi, Erling Haaland, Joao Pedro, Antoine Semenyo, and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Grealish had an exceptional debut month with Everton after joining on loan from Manchester City in the summer. He celebrated his milestone birthday by leading the Premier League in assists for August, boasting a total of four, which is double the count of any other competitor.
Remarkably, Grealish's four assists came in just two matches. He assisted both goals in Everton's 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion during their first match at Hill Dickinson Stadium, followed by creating two more goals in a thrilling 3-2 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, propelling the Toffees to fifth place in the league.
He made history as the first Everton player to register multiple assists in consecutive Premier League games. In Matchweek 4, when he faces his former club Aston Villa at home, he has an opportunity to become the first player in league history to assist two or more goals in three consecutive matches.
Grealish is also the first Everton player to win the Player of the Month award since Dominic Calvert-Lewin in September 2020.
Everton's head coach David Moyes expressed his admiration for Grealish's outstanding performances, stating that the English forward exceeded his expectations.
"There's always something to prove, and I believe Jack is eager to demonstrate his abilities. His recent performances have been impressive. The highest compliment I can give him is that he is better than I anticipated. He brings a unique edge that enhances our creativity and goal-scoring potential," said Moyes.
