West Ham, Everton Seek Jack Grealish Loan Amid Premier League Transfer Race

West Ham and Everton are both actively pursuing midfield reinforcements this summer, with West Ham prioritizing midfield upgrades under Graham Potter and Everton seeking to rebuild under David Moyes. Reports indicate Everton is interested in West Ham’s Tomas Soucek, who has been sidelined recently, with a potential lowball £12m bid in circulation, though this has angered some West Ham fans. Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is another midfield target, but his £30m price tag has deterred West Ham and Everton, although Fulham may also pursue him. Meanwhile, the future of Manchester City’s Jack Grealish is uncertain, with both West Ham and Everton making inquiries; however, Grealish’s high wages and City’s preference for a loan deal complicate a transfer. Grealish, who has seen limited playing time recently, is valued by City at around £40 million, and both clubs are waiting to see if City will soften their stance. The competition between West Ham and Everton for these midfield targets highlights the challenges both clubs face in strengthening their squads effectively this summer.
