Everton eye Jack Grealish move and hold key advantage in battle for unwanted Man City star
Jack Grealish is being targeted by Everton and could decide to make the move due to his desire to stay at home in Cheshire, where he lives with his partner and young daughter Jack Grealish is being targeted by Everton, who hope to use the Manchester City star's desire to stay at home to their advantage. England international Grealish has no future at the Etihad Stadium, and was omitted from City's squad for the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. He has been told he is free to find another club, but City will hope to secure a permanent exit for the 29-year-old they signed from Aston Villa for £100m in 2021. Italian champions Napoli have been linked with a move for Grealish, who would link up with his former City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne were he to complete a move to Naples. But The Independent report that the 39-times capped wide man would rather stay in the north of England at his Cheshire home he shares with partner Sasha Attwood and the pair's young daughter. Seeking some stability after moving from the Midlands, Grealish may decide that a loan move to Everton is the perfect chance for him to try and regain the form that saw City make him the most expensive English player ever at the time when they bought him four years ago. Cheshire is a favourite with footballers who play for the north west clubs due to its easy commuting distance to the training facilities for both the Manchester and Merseyside outfits. Grealish has won three Premier League titles and the Champions League at City, but he has seen his influence on Pep Guardiola's wane in recent years. He made just 20 Premier League appearances in each of the last two seasons, scoring only once in 2024-25. Everton would see the signing of Grealish as a huge coup, with manager David Moyes said to be willing to allow him off the leash and and free him from the constraints he has often been under when playing for the demanding Guardiola. The Merseysiders will move into their new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Liverpool's Bramley-Moore Dock at the start of this season after their men's side left Goodison Park. That fresh start and new stage could also appeal to Grealish as he seeks to get his career back on track, and he could target potentially winning his England place back in time for 2026 World Cup next summer.

Ebbw Vale: plans for statue of Steve Jones lodged
Alyson Tippings of Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council's environment and regeneration department has applied to place the 2.85-metre-high statue at Ebbw Vale Sports Centre on Lime Avenue. Destination manager Ms Tipping explained that talks had been held between her department, the Sports Centre and other groups with an interest in the project. Ms Tipping said: 'The project is being delivered by a group that includes local authority staff, Aneurin Leisure staff, local councillors and a representative of the group who fundraised for the project. 'Steve Jones and his family have been involved in the selection of the design.' They selected a proposal by artist Tim Ward for the sculpture. The sculpture is to be a silhouette running figure mounted on a locally quarried limestone boulder. The total height of the proposal will be 3.4 metres and will be 'created' in 10mm marine grade 316 stainless steel, laser cut to shape with laser etched text in Welsh and English. The figure will be 2.85 metres high with a width of 1.5 metres and shows Steve Jones wearing the number 10 breaking the world record in 1984 when winning the Chicago Marathon. The steelwork will be securely fixed by resin fixed into a base on a boulder. A decision on the application is expected by September 2. Olympian and former marathon world record holder Mr Jones was awarded Blaenau Gwent's highest honour when councillors voted unanimously to award him the freedom of the county borough at a meeting in January. In April, Mr Jones joined councillors and guests online from his home in Boulder, Colorado in United States of America at an extraordinary council meeting where he received the honour.. The mover to award Mr Jones the freedom of Blaenau Gwent started last year when the council were asked by Lee Aherne chairman of Parc Bryn Bach running club, if anything would be done to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his world record run at the Chicago marathon. This feat took place on October 21, 1984. He held the marathon record for a British runner for 33 years until Mo Farah broke it in 2018. At the meeting Mr Aherne said: 'I was very luck in the 1980s to have stood on the starting lines when Steve was the best marathon runner in the world.' 'You are a bona fide legend.' Mr Jones told councillors 'You can't believe how honoured I feel to be accepting this award. 'Ebbw Vale is where I started running, my roots and family are still in Ebbw Vale. 'All the other things I have done in my life, even receiving my MBE from Princess Anne may stand second to this honour.'
