Manchester City star Jack Grealish is reportedly expecting to leave the club next summer, having asked his agent to find a new club to join. That's according to 90Min, who report that the England international star is not expecting to stay at the Etihad Stadium, having struggled to guarantee a place in the team since his £100million move.
The 27-year-old has made just three Premier League appearances this season, scoring once in those games so far. Despite the lack of plaudits, Grealish's underlying stats matched that of his Aston Villa days; however he is now doing so in a team full of stars in Pep Guardiola's rotation style.
It led to the forward discussing the unfair pressure put on English players according to his teammate Kevin De Bruyne: "I can obviously see where he [De Bruyne] is coming from a little bit, but I think that’s just the way it is in this country.

"Especially if you’re myself, playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, who are winning trophies every single year. And obviously when I have the price tag on my head that I have, people are going to want to talk. It’s just something that I need to keep going back to, embracing it, it’s just part and parcel really."
However, should the report of his potential exit from Man City come true, there will be no shortage of suitors for the winger, who CIES Football Observatory have valued at £52million. One side that could potentially make the jump for him would be Arsenal, who he has flirted with in transfer sagas before.
Not only would he fit the home grown quota, but he would be yet another star that could help with depth in the forward areas. Before his switch to the Etihad Stadium, Grealish was a dream transfer for many Arsenal fans too, potentially bringing about that move.
It remains to be seen if an exit is likely for the England star as well as if the Gunners would be willing to make an offer. However, it could see them repeat a trick they used to sign both Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko this summer that has allowed the squad to improve further.
