Manchester City have signed England star Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for a British record transfer fee of £100 million.
The 25-year-old midfielder will join City on a six-year contract and will wear the Number 10 shirt.
Grealish said: “It was obviously a difficult few months because I have been an Aston Villa fan for my whole life, but when I spoke to the manager here and you see what type of players they have got here, in the end it was something I couldn’t say no to.
“There are obviously a lot of reasons why I decided to come here. The manager has been a massive factor; playing under the best manager in the world was something I couldn’t really turn down. Obviously the players that we have got here, I think everyone knows how much I admire Kevin [De Bruyne].
“But competing for major trophies is something that I wanted to do. It was something I couldn’t turn down.”
Grealish will make his debut for City on Saturday (7th August) when the club go up against Leicester in the Community Shield.
