​Man City signing Grealish: £100m price-tag will help me

Manchester City new boy Jack Grealish is being driven by the price tag on his shoulders.

The former Aston Villa attacking midfielder is the newest addition to Pep Guardiola's star-studded squad.

Grealish, who was in the England squad for their Euro 2020 campaign, believes the £100million fee that took him to the Etihad Stadium this summer will inspire him to greatness.

"It don't put no pressure on me whatsoever," said Grealish as he was unveiled to fans on Monday, per the Evening Standard.

"I take that as a compliment. I actually like it, I think it is a good tag to have. I think when you see a football club paying that much for a player it means they trust and value you highly and see so much potential there to work with.

"I just see it as a good thing. I just hope now I can repay this whole football club by winning as many titles as possible and winning that trophy is all we want."
