Gategrashing a Kevin De Bruyne interview last year, Jack Grealish leant into camera shot and said: "I'll win one of these next year."
It was May 2022, and Grealish was coming to the end of a frustrating debut season at Manchester City after his £100m move from Aston Villa. Performances were improving, but slowly, and Grealish himself would admit later that month that the adaptation period at the Etihad was much harder than he expected.
Still, for a below-par season, he still picked up a Premier League winner's medal, and since coming back to the club in the summer, he has been one of City's best players of the season. Now, he's finally won the award he wanted in May.
