“Erling Haaland Compares Jack Grealish to ‘Unique’ Man City LEGEND After His Explosive Everton Performance!”
Erling Haaland has expressed his admiration for Jack Grealish following the latter’s impressive performances at Everton.
The two were close teammates at Manchester City, and Haaland has been closely following Grealish’s recent efforts at his new club.
After a dip in his fortunes at City, including being left out of the squad for the Club World Cup, Grealish’s time at the Etihad came to an end.
However, Grealish has made an immediate impact at Everton, registering four assists in his first three Premier League matches, much to Haaland’s delight.
“Jack De Bruyne does it again for Everton,” Haaland wrote on Snapchat, alongside a picture of himself smiling.
His post humorously likened Grealish to City’s legendary playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, with whom Haaland formed a close bond during their time together at City.
In his first start for Everton, Grealish assisted twice to help the team secure a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
He repeated that feat with another two assists in Everton’s 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday.
Haaland’s comparison between Grealish and De Bruyne highlights just how highly he rates his former teammate, who had a significant role in City’s successes.
While City’s decision to part ways with both De Bruyne and Grealish this summer stirred mixed reactions from fans, Haaland seems fully behind his friend’s new chapter.
The relationship between Haaland and Grealish was always strong at City. The two were frequently seen together, whether traveling for away matches or during training sessions.
Haaland even posted a selfie during the Club World Cup, beside an empty seat, with a crying cat emoji and the caption, “Jack Grealish where are you?”
Back in 2023, Grealish shared his thoughts on their close bond: “We have a great relationship.
We often travel to training together, live in the same building, and I’ve assisted him a few times. Having that kind of connection off the pitch makes things so much easier on it.”
