Comparing Jack Grealish’s 20-21 PL stats to Man City’s current creators

Jack Grealish being linked with top-six clubs is nothing new. 

Since he started tearing up the Championship with Aston Villa, leading them to promotion with six goals and six assists in the second tier in 2018-19, the rumour mill has been buzzing with rumours of a big-money move.

But for now, he has stuck with his boyhood club and has gone from strength to strength in the top flight too. Last season saw him net eight goals and assist a further six, while his fine form at Villa Park this campaign has seen him become a fixture in the England squad.

With Manchester United, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool all previously linked with the attacker, it is now Manchester City’s turn to wade into the transfer battle, with The Independent reporting that Pep Guardiola has asked the club to get the deal done.

Grealish at City would be an incredibly tasty proposition and would surely tempt plenty of fans into betting on the Premier League.

What better time to compare Grealish’s statistics from this season with the array of attacking gems already on offer at the Etihad?

How does he match up with Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva and Ferran Torres?
