Supporters of Everton have been reacting to the latest transfer report which has linked the Toffees with a move for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish.
According to Sky Sports, Carlo Ancelotti’s side will give chase to the Englishman if they secure their other top targets first, one of those being LOSC Lille’s Gabriel Magalhaes, which had some fans gutted (via Everton News Feed).

No for me. He’s a luxury player who looks better in a poor side. That’s just my opinion

Do you like that the club are prioritising signings over Jack Grealish?Yes, good to have priorities
No, I don't like it at all

According to this report, another key target that the Toffees would be looking at bringing in before Grealish is Gremio forward Everton Soares.
However, with the 24-year-old having been the best-performing player for the Villans in the Premier League this season with a 7.33/10 average rating (per WhoScored), some fans were keen.
No brainer that isnt it

What do we think?
Surprisingly, some Everton supporters seem divided over whether signing Grealish from Aston Villa would be a good idea, with some stating that he has only looked good because he has been in a poor side.
However, 2.7 key passes, 84.4% passing success and 39.8 average passes per league game (per WhoScored) compared to Richarlison’s 1.2 key passes, 66% passing success and 23.3 average passes per league game (per WhoScored) would suggest otherwise.
