Everton winger Jack Grealish has been awarded the Premier League’s Player of the Month for August, marking his first time winning the accolade. The England international, who turned 30 recently, has made an immediate impact since joining Everton on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
What Has Grealish Achieved This Season?
Grealish has provided four assists in just two league starts—wins against Brighton and Wolves—plus an appearance as a substitute in Everton’s opener at Leeds. His four assists are two more than any other player after three Premier League games this season.
How Does This Compare Historically?
He is the first Everton player to win the award since Dominic Calvert-Lewin in September 2020. Grealish has made 193 Premier League appearances since his debut in 2014 and has won the league title three times with Manchester City. Notably, he is the first Everton player to record multiple assists in consecutive Premier League matches.
What’s Next for Grealish?
He has the chance to become the first player to provide assists in three straight Premier League games when Everton face his former club Aston Villa.
How Was the Award Decided?
Grealish topped an eight-man shortlist through a combination of public votes and expert panel decisions.
