Jack Grealish has been linked with a surprise move within the Premier League in the summer after falling out of favour at Manchester City.
A Premier League record £100 million signing from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish played a key role in City's incredible treble win in the 2022/23 season but has only managed 17 goals and 23 assists in 155 appearances.
He has found regular game-time hard to come by in a difficult current campaign, with Pep Guardiola even apologising to his No.10 for not giving him the minutes he deserved.

Widespread reports claim that Grealish could be on the move for a new challenge in the summer window, with City expected to refresh their squad after a notable decline in performance levels.
Kevin De Bruyne has already confirmed he will be leaving after a decade when his deal expires in the summer and according to Caught Offside, Grealish is being monitored by ‘multiple Premier League sides’.
Grealish's boyhood club Villa have been linked with a switch for their former captain, while there have also been persistent rumours about a possible move to Spurs - who are long-time admirers of the England international.
West Ham have been mentioned as an unlikely outside shout but the aforementioned report claims Nottingham Forest have emerged as a potential suitor or Grealish and see him as a "statement signing".

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are dreaming of Champions League football next season and are currently in sixth place, three points behind third-placed Newcastle United having played a game less.
The FA Cup semi finalists hope that they can convince Grealish to make the move to the City Ground if they secure a return to top-level European competition.
It's claimed City accept they will make a significant loss on Grealish but will entertain bids between £38 and £43 million.

City, meanwhile, have been heavily linked with Forest talisman Morgan Gibbs-White and reportedly have him on their shortlist to replace the outgoing De Bruyne.
Guardiola has hailed the former Wolves man as an "exceptional player", though it has been reported that Forest have slapped a £100 million price tag on him.
