Jack Grealish told Erling Haaland “I need these assists” after his Manchester City team-mate spurned an opportunity in front of goal.
The England winger is yet to get off the mark in the assist column this season, having previously racked them up regularly for Aston Villa. When he does it will more than likely be for goal machine Haaland.
Haaland has been in brilliant form for the Blues since his summer move from Borussia Dortmund. Before the World Cup break, the Norway international had already notched an impressive 23 goals in just 18 appearances.
But the Norwegian striker missed a chance earlier this year which had been put on a plate for him by Grealish, who was less impressed. He revealed his reaction during a promotional video with Amazon.
“I passed him one and he missed. I said I need these assists Erling,” recalled Grealish as he was speaking ahead of Wednesday’s return of the Premier League fixtures.
These Grealish’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
