Everton are set to face competition from a number of Premier League rivals in their pursuit of Jack Grealish as he prepares to leave Man City again.<\/strong><\/p>\n Grealish<\/a> has seen his Everton<\/a> loan spell cut short by a foot injury which has ruled him out until the end of the season, but plans have accelerated over his future.<\/p>\n A number of the Toffees\u2019 Premier League<\/a> rivals are believed to have joined the race for his signature after being impressed by his performances this season.<\/p>\n However, as I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider\u2019s Transfer Insider podcast<\/a><\/strong>, Everton remain the clear favourites to land the 30-year-old on fresh terms.<\/p>\n Grealish has enjoyed his spell at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, while David Moyes<\/a> is keen to extend his stay given the influence he has had on the starting XI.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Everton backed to beat rivals to Jack Grealish deal<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> revealed on 13 February that Everton are working to sign Grealish<\/a> on a permanent deal which could be worth a cut-price \u00a320million.<\/p>\n A renewed loan deal also remains on the table given the finances involved including wages on any permanent deal, which Everton may be unable to afford.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n Premier League rivals have been placed on alert as a result of that potential availability, but could miss out regardless of their growing interest.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast<\/strong>, I explained: \u201cI\u2019m sure there\u2019s other Premier League clubs who will be monitoring his situation at City as well.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I said he\u2019s got back to his best form during that loan spell at Everton as well so there\u2019ll be other clubs who will be keeping tabs on his long-term situation as well.<\/p>\n \u201cNot just in the Premier League, but in Europe because he has impressed with Everton.<\/p>\n \u201cI think you probably have to say that Everton are in pole position to sign Grealish if he does end up leaving Man City.<\/p>\n \u201cThe positive news for Everton here is that Grealish is very much open for a return to Everton.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s really enjoyed his time at the club, which has obviously been cut short by this injury which was a big blow to him and a big blow for Everton as well.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has performed well for Everton, six assists and two goals in 20 Premier League appearances, he\u2019s really enjoying working under David Moyes.\u201d<\/p>\n How does Grealish feel about staying at Everton?<\/p>\n Despite interest from a number of Premier League rivals and clubs in Europe, Grealish is believed to be keen to stay at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> exclusively revealed on 9 December that Grealish \u201conly has eyes for Everton\u201d<\/a> when considering his future away from Man City.<\/p>\n Pep Guardiola\u2019s side have closed the door on any potential return, and having enjoyed his loan spell this season, the England international is keen to continue.<\/p>\n After having struggled for regular game time or major impact, Grealish has enjoyed being the main man at Everton and the role he plays in the side.<\/p>\n Sources say he is \u201cloving life\u201d on Merseyside, and despite having suffered a season-ending injury, there is a feeling his time at Everton is not over just yet.<\/p>\n For more Everton news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand new\u00a0WhatsApp
