Moyes on a mission to get Grealish back to his best

- BY CHRIS MCKENNA

DAVID MOYES hopes he can rekindle the magic from Jack Grealish and cites Jesse Lingard as proof he can do it.

Everton kick off their campaign tonight at Leeds with loan signing Grealish in contention for his debut.

The Manchester City and England midfielder has fallen out of favour with boss Pep Guardiola and played only 715 Premier League minutes last season.

But now he's joined Everton looking to get back to his best ahead of the World Cup next summer.

Moyes is hoping he can do what he did with Lingard (right), when he signed him on loan from Manchester United at West Ham in 2021.

The turnaround in Lingard's fortunes earned him an England recall.

The Everton boss said: "We are all saying there is a Jack Grealish who played for Aston Villa, there's one who played for Manchester City, one we've seen playing for England and along the line there he is playing for arguably the best manager in the world. So I take his thoughts as well but I have to find ways of getting the best out of players.
