Fans of Everton have been reacting to the latest report on the Toffees’ supposed interest in signing Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish.
According to Football Insider, as cited by the Daily Star, Everton are feeling ‘secretly confident’ that they can successfully swoop for the English midfielder (via Everton News Feed), which fans reacted to.
?Everton are said to be “secretly confident” on signing Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish this summer. Villa are apparently demanding a £70M fee with Grealish wanting up to £150K per week. Manchester United are no longer interested in the player.

Will Jack Grealish be an Everton player at the beginning of next season?No, it's not going to happen
Yes, it could possibly happen

According to the Mirror, Manchester United are willing to pay £70 million to secure the midfielder’s services and the Sun have stated that they are also ready to offer him £150,000-a-week wages, leading the Birmingham Mail to report the two possible prices.
So, when the two figures were shared to Everton supporters on Twitter (via Everton News Feed), many Toffees supporters had a lot to say.

He would be a game changer for us. He links midfield to attack, something we badly miss and is a must in any team wanting to be successful.
He also has all the Everton FC fighting qualities we like to see. Gives 110% every game, scores goals and has a slight arrogance. Quality— Mike (@Mike47506739) April 19, 2020
Great player we could build around in my opinion but I may be wrong.

What do we think?
Grealish currently has a contract which is set to run for another three seasons following the conclusion of this one and a market value of £27.45 million (per Transfermarkt), so, £70 million may be a little over the odds.
However, the 24-year-old’s 7.33/10 average rating in the Premier League this season (per WhoScored) would make him the best-performing player in Everton’s squad with the rating just bettering Richarlison’s 7.32/10 (per WhoScored).
