Grealish's message to Saka
Speaking to Talksport, Grealish revealed he loves Saka, saying that although he doesn't talk much, he is funny.
"Saka is the best kid actually. I went up to his dad and told him, ‘I love your son!’ He’s the nicest kid ever but he’s got a little bit of banter as well. He’s funny, man. He’s laid back but when he’s on the training pitch, he’s on it. Off it, he’s quite laid back and chilled."
Grealish has been criticised by some sections of the media in the UK, but he's ignored the chatter and seems to be enjoying his time at Man City, following a big-money move from Aston Villa last season, according to Sky Sports.
