​Grealish hoping to reap rewards for friendship with Man City ace Foden

Manchester City new boy Jack Grealish hopes his friendship with Phil Foden will play dividends on the pitch.

The two are very familiar with each other from England duty, having represented the Three Lions at Euro 2020 this summer.

Grealish has signed for City from Aston Villa for a British record transfer fee.

During his first set of interviews as a City player, Grealish mentioned his friendship with young midfielder Foden.

"When we are away with England I get on so well with him," Grealish told the club's website.

"He makes me laugh. He is like a little brother. I just can't wait to play regularly with him week in, week out.

"I feel like sometimes when you have a connection with someone off the pitch it can transfer onto the pitch.

"We did that in training with England. We would look for each other, play one twos and I can't wait to be doing that here."
