The former Aston Villa star won the Premier League in his first season at the Etihad Stadium.

Jack Grealish has admitted his £100 million price tag put pressure on him during his first season at Manchester City.

Grealish left Villa to join the Citizens last summer. Following a difficult start at the club, the England international gradually established his place in Pep Guardiola’s lineup.

The 26-year-old claimed his first Premier League title when City defeated Liverpool in a close title race. However, he is eager to win a lot more in the coming seasons.

“You can imagine what the critics would have said; if I would have went for the price tag that I went for and then not won anything in my first season,” Grealish said.

To be able to prove them wrong and even just sit at home with my Premier League medal is a dream come true. I just want to win everything that I play in. We want to win. At the end of your career, you look back on your medals and what you’ve won.

“I’m not saying I just want to win the Champions League next year. I want to win everything. I want to win the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup, the Premier League. That’s what I’ve come here to do.

“I think I will improve next year, I know I will. I know there will be even more pressure on me next year than there was this year.”
