Jack Grealish praises Guardiola

English attacker Jack Grealish is the first Manchester City player to send a message to Guardiola after his contract was announced.

Grealish was signed by Pep from Premier League club Aston Villa for a British record £100m but he is yet to hit the form that made City splash the cash on him.

Guardiola wants Bukayo Saka

Sports Brief earlier reported that Guardiola wants to sign Bukayo Saka from Arsenal. The young winger has been impressive since he broke out and Guardiola is an admirer.

According to Transfermarkt, Guardiola has spent over €1bn since becoming City boss and with two more years in charge, he will surely spend more money of the Abu Dhabi backed club.

Manchester City will look to take advantage of Bukayo Saka's contract situation at Arsenal to try and convince him to switch Emirates to Etihad.
