Everton midfielder Jack Grealish has overlooked Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and Chelsea star Cole Palmer while naming the most skillful player in the English Premier League.
Grealish, who is currently on loan at Everton from Manchester City, instead picked his Toffees teammate, Iliman Ndiaye, for the honor.
Speaking on a recent Stan Sport podcast, the England international praised Saka and Palmer but drew a distinction between effectiveness and flair.
“Saka, for example, is so good—one of the best wingers in the world—but he’s not skillful,” Grealish said. “Palmer has pure skills. Iliman Ndiaye is the most skillful player in the Premier League.”
Ndiaye has impressed since joining Everton, registering four goals and two assists in 18 appearances across all competitions this season.
The 25-year-old forward joined David Moyes’ side in 2024 from French Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.
