Jack Grealish Would Walk Into This Arsenal Team – Dan Murphy

Aston Villa midfielder, Jack Grealish is backed to fit into any of the top six Premier League sides by Liverpool hero, Dan Murphy.

Arsenal are currently scouting players to replace Mesut Ozil in the long run and Grealish has been impressing plenty in the English top-flight.

“Jack could fit into any of the Big Six teams though some need him more than others,” Murphy told the Daily Mail. “His big asset is the variety in his game.

“He can have an impact as a No10, off the left, in a midfield three or even as a deep-lying midfielder. He’d walk into the Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester United teams right away. He’s not inferior to Mateo Kovacic, Ross Barkley or Mason Mount at Chelsea.”

He added, “Even though Liverpool are currently well-stocked for midfielders, what if Gini Wijnaldum doesn’t sign a new contract and James Milner gets to a certain age? Could Jack do the hard yards Jurgen Klopp demands? Yes. Would I have him ahead of Naby Keita for example? Yes.”

“My feeling is that Jack, while a lifelong Aston Villa fan, is an ambitious lad and will have a huge desire to see how far his talent can take him.

“Villa fans won’t like me saying this about their captain and local hero, but to kick on he has to go to a Champions League club this year, hopefully having first preserved Villa’s Premier League status.”
