DBasia.news – Manchester City are getting closer to the finish line for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish. However, The Citizens are considered to have been over the line after making an offer of up to 100 million pounds to sign Grealish. However, when examined more deeply, the value is not without calculation.
In fact, Jack Grealish’s name has only emerged in the last two seasons. This condition is inseparable from his impresive appearance on the second line of Villa. Moreover, Grealish has also been linked with Manchester United.
However, the offer of 100 million pounds submitted by Manchester City does appear excessive. Moreover, Grealish has not been tested properly at a big club.
At the same time, Grealish does have a prominent advantage. One of them is creating opportunities. Since the 2019-2020 season, Grealish has been in second place in terms of creating the most chances. In total, the midfielder created 172 chances.
Interestingly, the first position is occupied by Kevin De Bruyne with 216 chances. That way, if they manage to sign Grealish, Manchester City’s midfield promises creativity above average.
Furthermore, Grealish’s slick statistics are also for matters of winning offenses and assists. Grealish was the first player to win the most Premier League fouls last season. Grealish obtained 4.53 fouls per game.
Meanwhile, in terms of assists, with 12 times last season, Grealish became the second player with the largest average number. Grealish averaged 0.41 assists every 90 minutes.
Grealish also excelled in other things. The two that stood out were winning duels (9.52 times per game) and touches in the opponent’s box (6.92 times per game).
In addition, the 25-year-old player is also useful in terms of homegrown regulations. According to the rules, all Premier League clubs are required to register 25 players over 21 years of age each season. Of these, eight of them must be homegrown.
Homegrown players are at least 21 years of age as of January 1, 2021 and have spent three years between the ages of 16 and 21 playing for English clubs.
Another advantage that Grealish has, of course, is leadership and experience. Grealish is used to taking the lead when playing for Villa. Understandably, he holds the status of captain of The Lions.
For experience, Grealish has also experienced the international stage with the England national team. Although not a core player at Euro 2020, Grealish is often relied on in times of urgency.
Thus, a series of advantages has made the 100 million pounds value proposed by Manchester City cannot be said to be expensive. Moreover, expensive or cheap is very relative, depending on the ability of the team’s expense.
