Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has made a claim that a lot of Chelsea and Liverpool supporters are likely to disagree with.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given thinks one player at his old side would have no problem winning a starting position at either Chelsea<\/a> or Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are Premier League<\/a> champions, while Chelsea have a squad that may be capable of challenging for the title one day. The club\u2019s new No.10 Cole Palmer<\/a> is just one phenomenal footballer currently on their books.<\/p>\n

Given, though, is confident that one attacker who could be about to leave City is good enough to play for either outfit.<\/p>\n

Jack Grealish<\/a> is expected to depart the Etihad this summer, and the 29-year-old would walk into Chelsea\u2019s first XI, according to Given.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Metro<\/a> about Grealish, the retired shot-stopper said: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to name clubs but at the same time I think he walks into any team in the country, that even includes Liverpool or Chelsea or anyone. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think he just needs to be given a batch of games to show how good he is back in that central position and not out wide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turning 30 in September, it is highly unlikely that Chelsea will make a move for Grealish, who happens to be a fan of one Blues legend.<\/p>\n

Grealish picked Eden Hazard<\/a> when asked who was the better player out of the Belgian and Neymar last year. It would be a shock, though, if Grealish got an opportunity to follow in Hazard\u2019s footsteps and play for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, it does look like the England international will be leaving Chelsea\u2019s Premier League rivals after making just seven starts for them in the top flight last term.<\/p>\n

As harsh as it may sound, Grealish has barely done anything at City after a \u00a3100m move to the club in 2021.<\/p>\n

Grealish\u2019s output has not been great, while the attacking midfielder does not even beat defenders the same way he used to at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n\nJack Grealish\u2019s 2024\/25 stats<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPremier League<\/td>\n20<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nChampions League<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nFA Cup<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nCarabao Cup<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTotal<\/strong><\/td>\n32<\/strong><\/td>\n3<\/strong><\/td>\n4<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Ultimately, there is not a single Chelsea or Liverpool fan who would agree with Given\u2019s statement. And if you were either club, you would probably be staying far away from Grealish, especially on his current wages.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has made a claim that a lot of Chelsea and Liverpool supporters…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,1521,2465,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-165780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-jack-grealish","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114643819900707875","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
