MANCHESTER: England's most expensive player is beginning to live up to his price tag as Manchester City are getting the Jack Grealish they spent £100 million for after a frustrating first season at the Etihad.
Despite his price tag in a then record Premier League move from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish spent most of last season's title run-in watching from the sidelines as City held off Liverpool by a point to lift a fourth Premier League trophy in five seasons. "Now he believes he is part of it. Maybe when he arrived he thought: 'I'm not good enough after the team won the Premier League.'
Grealish has started all of City's last 12 Premier League games as well as all four of their Champions League matches in the knockout stage so far. Grealish has started to deliver big moments, none more so than the crucial goal that put City back in front when theyHe has also scored against Manchester United and Liverpool, but his return of five goals and 10 assists is still not outstanding for a £100 million player.
Instead, City went onto win 4-1 and his work off the ball also helped swing a Champions League quarter-final his side's way against Bayern Munich.
