Lescott happy to help Grealish settle at Man City

Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott has no doubts Jack Grealish will add to the culture inside the club.

Lescott compared Grealish's passion for the game to one of his new Etihad colleagues

“His mindset is similar to Phil [Foden]. He just loves to play football," said Lescott to City's website.

“He's taking it all in. There has been so much talk about his transfer but he only wants to play football.

“There were no English lads in the dressing room when he came to City that he had been away with for England at the Euros.

“So I think it was nice for him to see me there as a friendly face to see him."
