Jack Grealish posts Man City training ground update after being ‘frozen out’
Manchester City winger Jack Grealish has sent an update regarding his current focus amid a Tottenham transfer reveal.
Grealish endured a difficult campaign last season, having slipped down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola and making just seven Premier League starts.
Grealish was left out of Man City’s Club World Cup squad last month, fuelling speculation that his future could lie away from the Etihad.
Interest in the England international has been growing, with Aston Villa and Everton monitoring his situation.
However, Football Insider has now reported that Tottenham are preparing to make a move for Grealish as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Spurs recently missed out on a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White, despite triggering his release clause and the Nottingham Forest midfielder ultimately signed a new contract, forcing the North London club to turn their attention elsewhere.
In the midst of the latest update and rising transfer talk, Grealish shared a surprising development regarding where his head is currently at.
Jack Grealish returns to Man City training after being frozen out
The England international shared a series of images with supporters on Instagram, confirming his return to training with the Manchester City squad, despite his recent omission from the side.
He gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the opening training sessions as City resumed preparations for the new season. The squad returned later than most Premier League teams, having been granted an extended break following their Club World Cup campaign.
However, despite being back in training, Football Insider has reported that Grealish does not expect to stay at Manchester City this summer, as he feels “frozen out” by Guardiola.
The former Aston Villa captain featured just 20 times in the Premier League last season, slipping behind Jeremy Doku and Savinho in the pecking order.
Tottenham have held a long-standing interest in Grealish and could now offer the 29-year-old a fresh start in North London, with a potential move bringing the promise of more regular minutes.
Manchester City weigh up Ederson sale following James Trafford arrival
Grealish may not be the only big name on the way out of the Etihad, with goalkeeper Ederson also linked with a summer exit from Man City.
James Trafford has now completed a move back to the club, and while he will offer immediate competition for the number one spot, his arrival could also pave the way for the Brazilian to depart.
Galatasaray have already made an approach for Ederson, while clubs in the Saudi Pro League are also reportedly interested. Whether City are willing to sanction the move remains to be seen, but Trafford’s signing has added further uncertainty over Ederson’s long-term future in Manchester.
