Grealish wins first ever EA SPORTS Player of the Month award

Winger voted best player in Premier League in August after stunning start to life at Everton

Jack Grealish has been voted the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for August 2025, winning the award for the first time in his career.

Grealish had a stunning debut month for Everton after joining on loan from Manchester City in the summer. Grealish, who turned 30 this week, led the Premier League for assists in August, with his total of four being double that of any other player in the competition. 

Indeed, Grealish's four assists came in just two matches, as he set up both goals as Everton beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 in their first match at Hill Dickinson Stadium, before creating two more goals in Everton's following match, a 3-2 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers that put the Toffees fifth in the table.

He became the first Everton player to ever record multiple assists in consecutive Premier League matches, while in Matchweek 4, when he plays at home against former club Aston Villa, he has the chance to be the first player in Premier League history to assist two or more goals in three consecutive appearances. 

Grealish is the first Everton player to claim the EA SPORTS Player of the Month prize since Dominic Calvert-Lewin in September 2020.

He wins after topping an eight-man shortlist after the public's votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.
