Jack Grealish carried the ball 7,035metres last season. That's 4.4miles. Manchester City may be known for their ability to move the ball but they have spent £100million on a 25-year-old with super glue on his right boot.
It sticks to him like no one else in English football. Clearly Pep Guardiola considers Grealish a player who can kick the team on and it will be interesting to see how and where he tells him to play. He could play as a No 8, a No 10, even a false nine, but I believe Grealish is most lethal when playing off the left.
The inverted winger is fashionable in the modern game and that's where he did most of his damage for Aston Villa.
Chris Sutton believes that new Manchester City signing Jack Grealish can have a huge impact
Playmaker Grealish arrived at City for £100m this week in the culmination of long negotiations
We saw what Grealish can do on the big stage at Euro 2020. It was his cross with his weaker left foot which saw Raheem Sterling score to secure England a 1-0 win over the Czech Republic.
If City come up against an opponent who is sitting deep, they can pass the ball to Grealish the maverick. He'll find a way through. How many times have we seen him sizing up an opponent who he's about to beat? Too many to count.
What's frightening for their Premier League rivals is that no other club carried the ball into the box more than City last season. The one-touch, two-touch rules don't
