Pundit lifts lid on Man City chase for “incredible” Pep favourite as Silva exit looms

Speaking to Football Insider, ex-England international Darren Bent has claimed that Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish is ‘eyeing’ three Premier League clubs to join in the summer – with Pep Guardiola’s Sky Blues being one of them.

As club legend David Silva looks set to conclude his decade-long stay at City when this campaign comes to an end, it is debatable that we should be on the lookout for any potential replacements who could even come close to replicating the Spaniard’s past influence.

Youngster Phil Foden has been tipped in the past to take that mantle, but according to Bent, we might not have to rely on the teenager so much after all.
