Jack Grealish and Jurgen Klopp are two of the characters Premier League fans enjoy the most, according to a survey carried out by Sky Bet.
Sky Bet asked supporters of all 20 Premier League clubs which top flight player they’d most like to go on a night out with, along with a number of other topics in the survey, including which is the worst run club and the biggest club in the north of England.
There’s no surprise that top of the list was Jack Grealish. The England superstar over the past few years has shown just how much he can party whilst celebrating numerous Man City triumphs.
He received over a fifth of the votes (23%) with no other player coming anywhere near to challenging his top spot. If you needed a wingman, there’s no doubt the Man City forward would be the ultimate accomplice.
Whilst he may not be in the Premier League for much longer, Harry Kane came in second place with 10% of the vote. The England captain may be swapping the cheese rooms at Tottenham for the Bratwurst in Munich, but whilst he’s still in the top flight in this country, fans think they could have a good night out with him.
The bronze medal was given to Mo Salah - if the Egyptian is as entertaining on a night out as he is on the pitch then fans would be in for a cracker.
Declan Rice and Andy Robertson make up the top five with both sharing just under 8% of the vote. The new Arsenal man has a reputation for being light-hearted and a bit of fun, especially with his ‘Rice Rice Baby’ raps.
Fans were also asked what manager they would most like to sit down and watch a game of football with.
If given the choice, fans would love to watch a game of football with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. Over 23% of the people voted for the German to be the perfect partner to watch a game with.
Whether that be for his tactical genius and in-depth knowledge of the Gegenpress, or simply for his love and passion for the game, Klopp was the top choice.
In second place with 18% of the votes was Pep Guardiola. Whilst the Catalonian rarely finds himself in second place, the Man City manager was next in the list.
The top two couldn’t be any different in styles with Klopp’s heavy metal football and Pep’s Tika Taka style. However, it’s hard to argue that sitting down with either of them for just one football match wouldn’t be an experience.
Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag made up the top four both finishing with 8% of the votes. There’s no surprise that the managers of the four biggest teams in the Premier League were picked highly.
New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino came all the way down in 11th, just one place higher than the Blues finished in the Premier League last season. The Argentine was behind names such as Roy Hodgson, Sean Dyche and David Moyes.
