Everton winger Jack Grealish has been named the Premier League’s player of the month for August.

The England international, who turned 30 on Wednesday, has made an instant impact with the Toffees since joining on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

He has registered four assists from two league starts – wins over Brighton and Wolves – after coming on as a substitute in Everton’s season opener at Leeds.

That is two assists more than any other player three games into the Premier League season.

It is the first time that Grealish has won the award and he is the first Everton player to do so since Dominic Calvert-Lewin in September 2020.

After making his Premier League debut for Aston Villa in May 2014, Grealish has now made 193 appearances in the competition and won the title three times with Manchester City.

Before joining Everton, he had provided two assists in the same Premier League game only twice before.

Grealish is the first Everton player to record multiple assists in consecutive Premier League matches. He has the chance to be the first player to do so in three straight Premier League games when the Toffees host his former club Villa on Saturday at 15:00 BST.

He topped an eight-man shortlist after a public vote combined with those of a panel of football experts.
