Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has jokingly dubbed Jack Grealish “Jack De Bruyne” after the winger delivered another dazzling display for Everton, registering two more assists in their win over Wolves.
Jack Grealish in Flying Form
Grealish’s summer loan move to Everton has already paid dividends. Against Wolves, the England international set up Beto’s opener, played a key role in the build-up to Iliman Ndiaye’s strike, and assisted Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s late winner. His performance means he is the first Everton player to record two assists in back-to-back Premier League games this season.
Erling Haaland’s Reaction
Close friend Erling Haaland took to Snapchat to celebrate Grealish’s form, posting:
Jack De Bruyne does it again for Everton.
The message highlights the level of influence Grealish is now having, drawing light-hearted comparisons to Manchester City’s playmaking icon Kevin De Bruyne.
A Fresh Start at Everton
After enduring a frustrating spell at City with limited minutes last season, Grealish appears rejuvenated under David Moyes at Goodison Park. The loan move has offered him the platform to rediscover his creativity and confidence, instantly making him one of Everton’s key attacking outlets. His early impact has even sparked talk that he could prove one of the signings of the season.
What Next for Grealish?
Everton supporters will be hoping Grealish can sustain his blistering start as the Toffees aim for a more stable Premier League campaign. His resurgence could also catch the attention of England boss Thomas Tuchel ahead of the 2026 World Cup, while City may yet question whether letting him go on loan was the right call.
