# Manchester City: Fans react as comments emerge from Aston Villa star Jack Grealish

**Speaking to Sky Sports News, as highlighted by [Man City Xtra](https://twitter.com/City_Xtra/status/1328109890884268032), Aston Villa star Jack Grealish opened up about his favourite players – name dropping Sky Blues playmaker Kevin De Bruyne as supporters flocked to his comments to draw sensational theories.**

Grealish, who has been [linked with a possible Man City move](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/13202540/jack-grealish-manchester-city-transfer-villa/) in recent days, spoke to Sky about his last 24 hours – in which he has been religiously watching footage of creative players from whom he takes inspiration.

This includes De Bruyne, who the ‘[incredible](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/pep-guardiola-hails-incredible-aston-20730580)‘ ace played against last night for England as Gareth Southgate’s side succumbed to a 2-0 Nations League defeat.

Reacting to the comments, plenty of Citizens have drawn their theories amid Grealish’s links to a multi-million pound City move – going on to speculate that he could want to join Pep Guardiola’s side.
