What's the story
Everton manager David Moyes has said that Jack Grealish's recent Premier League Player of the Month award is "just the start" for him. The England international has made an instant impact with Everton since joining on a season-long loan from Manchester City. He has already registered four assists in two league starts, more than any other player after three games this season. Grealish was adjudged Premier League Player of the Month for August.

Moyes was pleased with the recognition given to Grealish, saying it was a "big privilege" for him. He praised the winger for his hard work and dedication.
