David James Exclusive: Grealish Will Be A “Huge Player”

Former Manchester City goalkeeper David James believes Jack Grealish will become “a huge player” under Pep Guardiola and was never going to make the same instant impact Luis Diaz has at Liverpool. City signed Grealish from Aston Villa last summer for a British-record £100million, but he has managed just two goals and two assists in 20 Premier League appearances since arriving at the Etihad Stadium. Diaz, meanwhile, has the same number of strikes in only six league outings since joining Liverpool in January.

Grealish Will Make A Significant Impact

James, however, is confident that Grealish will eventually make a significant impact in Manchester, backing him to develop under Guardiola. 

In fact, the former goalkeeper claims the move has already been a success, pointing to City’s position in the league table as well as their continued involvement in the latter stages of the Champions League and FA Cup.

James also believes Guardiola’s rotational usage of Grealish is not unusual, with the 26-year-old’s 31 appearances in all competitions not far behind fellow attackers Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden or Raheem Sterling.

Speaking exclusively to Genting, James said: “Jack Grealish will eventually become a huge player under Pep, he was never going to be a Luis Diaz.

"The price tag is always going to lead the conversation, but City are top of the league and potentially on a treble.

"Jack has been a big part of that. No one has been a regular starter and Kevin De Bruyne, Foden and Sterling have all had parts where they’re not playing.

"It's been a successful move. He's young enough and the development stage under Pep will take time, it's not like a Diaz situation at Liverpool."
