West Ham are the latest club to show interest in Jack Grealish, with journalist Dean Jones reporting the Hammers have made early informal contact with Manchester City over a potential loan move for the England international.
Grealish’s future at City looks uncertain after a tough season under Pep Guardiola, with several Premier League clubs now monitoring his situation. According to Yahoo Sports, West Ham have joined Tottenham and Everton in exploring a possible deal.
West Ham Exploring Grealish Loan Transfer This Summer
Dean Jones, writing for Flashscore, revealed that West Ham are “seriously exploring” the idea of bringing in Grealish on loan. While talks remain in the early stages and no official bid has been made, the Premier League side are taking their interest seriously.
Manchester City aren’t pushing to sell Grealish, and a loan is seen as the most realistic option for both the player and the club this window. A one-season deal would give Grealish the chance to reset and prove himself again before next summer.
Uncertainty Surrounds Grealish’s Manchester City Future
Last season was a tough one for the 28-year-old, whose game time at City was limited due to injuries and the emergence of other attacking options like Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, and even Omar Marmoush. Grealish often found himself further down the pecking order.
Though clubs from overseas, namely AC Milan and Napoli, have shown interest, sources close to the player suggest he still wants to stay in the Premier League. That gives West Ham, Tottenham, and Everton a real chance to move in.
Grealish Could Benefit from London Switch
A move to West Ham could benefit both player and club. The Hammers would land a high-profile, proven Premier League talent without taking on the financial commitment of a permanent deal, while Grealish would get the opportunity to play a more central role and revive his form.
The idea of living and playing in London may also appeal to Grealish, who has previously been drawn to the capital. Tottenham are reportedly pushing as well under new boss Thomas Frank, while Everton remain in the mix as they prepare to move into their new stadium on Merseyside.
Manchester City’s Transfer Plans Key to Grealish Exit
Whether Grealish moves or stays may hinge on what Manchester City do in the transfer market. If Guardiola adds more attacking options this summer, Grealish may view a temporary exit as his best chance to play regular football.
Former City man Stuart Pearce recently spoke about a move abroad offering Grealish something new… but for now, staying in England looks more likely. West Ham’s emerging interest could be the start of a major story as the summer window heats up.
