Man City ace Jack Grealish responds to Erling Haaland after confession
Man City star Jack Grealish responded to teammate Erling Haaland after the Norwegian said the Englishman was his best friend at the club.
Grealish, 29, and Haaland, 24, have been close since the striker joined Pep Guardiola’s side from German giants Borussia Dortmund back in 2022.
Off the pitch, their chemistry is undeniable, but on it, they’re less compatible, having not combined for a goal since Grealish’s 81st-minute strike in the 3-3 draw against Tottenham last season.
The England international has found himself back in the fold under Guardiola after being out in the cold for much of last season.
Haaland, on the other hand, has started this season as he ended the last, scoring an impressive ten goals in just eight Premier League appearances.

The two players played pivotal roles in Manchester City’s squad that secured their remarkable Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup treble in the 2022-23 season.
Grealish was among the first Manchester City players to congratulate Haaland on the announcement that he is set to become a father for the first time.
While fielding questions from City’s in-house social media team for Instagram, Haaland is asked who his best mate is at the club, to which he quickly responds “Jack Grealish”.
The winger then re-posted the snippet onto his own Instagram, letting his teammate know that the feeling is mutual.
