Jack Grealish has opened up about his emotions after rejoining Everton on loan. The 30-year-old enjoyed a spell at the club last season but suffered a foot injury in February that kept him sidelined.
Speaking about his return, Grealish said:
It’s a wonderful feeling. I’m really happy. I think I express myself best in everything, not just football, when I feel loved.
That’s what my manager, teammates, and especially the fans have given me. Every time I meet an Everton fan, I feel that love. The way they welcomed me from my very first game against Leeds is something I’ll never forget. It means a lot to me, and I hope I’ve been able to make at least a few Everton supporters happy.
The first six months here were perfect. After my injury, I stayed close to the team, watching all of Everton’s pre-season matches and following the squad’s progress as the season kicked off.
Now I feel ready. I’ll start training tomorrow and get myself prepared for the matches ahead. Tonight, I’ll go to bed with a smile on my face. I can’t wait for Sunday and returning to Hill Dickinson.
On Sunday, Everton will face Manchester United.
