It's official! Jack Grealish is an Everton player. Although we have shared some of our concerns about this type of signing, it's hard not to be buzzing as an Everton fan considering the player's qualities.
However, there is a big question looming. Where could Jack Grealish possibly play? He's versatile, but Everton need to find a spot where Grealish is given the ability to roam free and wreak havoc on opposing backlines.
Offensively, Everton have invested heavily, bringing in Thierno Barry and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (KDH) to provide some true power next to Ndiaye. While Barry isn't a lock for the starting striker position, KDH and Ndiaye, who both can play similar positions, will most likely start.
Ndiaye can play on the left, KDH can play as the CAM and a box-to-box midfielder, so that leaves little space for Grealish in those two positions. So, what combination of players and positions will get the best out of Everton's talents?
The answer revolves around two subjects. First, KDH's versitality means that he could theoretically play in the double pivot next to Gana, opening up the CAM position for Grealish. Secondly, Everton are still looking for right-back options, and if they get the right profile, Grealish could play on the right as an inverted forward who is given the chance to exploit the right half-space.
As things stand, a good option that Everton could consider is putting Ndiaye on the right and slotting Jack in a more natural left wing role. Ndiaye has played on the right at the international level, so it's not a ridiculous shout to say that he can play in that position at the Premier League level.
Nevertheless, Moyes has options, and if he plays his cards right, he can realistically get the most out of Grealish and all his offensive players.
