Jack Grealish is interesting some of the Premier League’s biggest sides after his phenomenal performances for Aston Villa last season. Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City have all been linked with the England international.
Grealish scored six goals and recorded 10 assists in 24 Premier League starts for Villa last season and, despite spending a chunk of the season on the sidelines due to injury, was one of the division’s best players.
Both Tottenham and Manchester United were interested in the 25-year-old last summer but were unable to sign him.
Arsenal are also a side who admire him, as they look for a replacement for Martin Odegaard, who has returned to Real Madrid upon the expiry of his loan.
Despite all of that, the Athletic is reporting that this summer, the only realistic destination for Grealish is Manchester City.
Despite their glut of playmakers, including Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Bernando Silva, and Riyad Mahrez, Pep Guardiola is keen to bring the Villa captain up to Manchester.

The boyhood Tottenham fan is also said to want to join a club that is challenging for silverware more regularly.
There have been talks of a swap deal between City and Spurs and, with the likes of Silva and Mahrez potentially involved in that, could mean that a move Grealish is necessary.
Aymeric Laporte, Raheem Sterling, and Gabriel Jesus are other names that City could include in a deal for Kane.
However, it’s been speculated that Sterling and Laporte are not keen on the idea and do not want to join Tottenham.

New Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo has made it clear that he is not even considering the prospect of Kane leaving the club.
“Harry is our player – period,” he said.
“No need to talk about anything else. Now is the moment for Harry to recover his energy [after Euro 2020].
“I’m looking forward to him joining the group and for us to start working together.
“I have no doubts in my mind. When Harry Kane arrives he will feel that everyone of us has to commit himself to becoming better.”
