Jack Grealish addresses lack of goals for Man City and outlines ambitions for rest of season

Jack Grealish insists he has performed well for Manchester City, despite a quiet first season in front of goal for the £100m signing.

City broke the British transfer record to sign Grealish from Aston Villa in the summer, but the England international has taken his time to adapt to his new surroundings.

Grealish accepts that he would have wanted more goals by this stage of the season. However, he did state he was happy with his overall performances in a completely new system at City.

With three trophies still to fight for, Grealish also offered an insight into the mood in the City dressing room ahead of the run-in for the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

He revealed: “We’re in a good place at the moment; we’re top of the league, we’re in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and
