"The Liverpool Echo's Joe Thomas says having a player like Jack Grealish in the Everton ranks would prove "invaluable" and bringing him back to the club should be a "no-brainer" if possible. Grealish spent last season on loan at the Toffees from Manchester City, impressing in the first half of the campaign before a foot injury suffered in January ruled him out for the rest of the campaign. "With Grealish, I think his leadership comes in a slightly different way than that of a James Tarkowski or a Seamus Coleman," Thomas told BBC Radio Merseyside's Giulia Bould.
