- Jack Grealish admits his off-field partying contributed to difficulties at Manchester City.
- The £100m signing often struggled for consistent form at the Etihad despite being part of the 2023 treble-winning squad.
- He made just seven league starts last season and missed the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.
- In search of regular football, he joined Everton on a season-long loan.
- At Everton, he delivered two assists in each of his first two games and won August’s Premier League Player of the Month award.
- Grealish already has four assists this season, nearly matching his total from last year with City.
- The winger credits his resurgence to feeling valued and trusted under David Moyes.
Jack Grealish has admitted that his lifestyle choices during his time at Manchester City did not always align with the demands of playing at the very top level.
The England international, who made a £100 million move from Aston Villa in 2021, often found consistency hard to come by while at the Etihad.
Although he played a part in City’s treble-winning triumph in 2023, Grealish’s off-field celebrations became just as talked about as his football.
He now concedes that his partying at times may have contributed to his struggles at the club, even if it wasn’t the sole reason for his dip in form.
Last season, Grealish featured only sporadically, with just seven Premier League starts and no involvement in City’s FA Cup final defeat to Crystal Palace.

With his place in the England squad for the upcoming World Cup under threat, the winger chose to take a season-long loan move to Everton.
That decision has already proven successful. Grealish looks revitalized under David Moyes, contributing two assists in each of his first two Premier League appearances against Brighton and Wolves.
His early form earned him the Premier League Player of the Month award for August, marking a stark contrast to his frustrations at City.
With four assists already this season—just one fewer than his entire tally at City last campaign—Grealish appears to have rediscovered both his confidence and freedom on the pitch.
Everton’s management has given him the platform to play with expression while still meeting tactical demands, and the 30-year-old is thriving again.
