Jack Grealish has been told that he will benefit from Raheem Sterling's move to Chelsea this summer. Sterling had been an integral part of Pep Guardiola's success in Manchester but was convinced by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel to move to Stamford Bridge in search of a more prominent first team role.
Sterling joined Chelsea on a five-year deal this summer, paving the way for Grealish to nail down the left wing position. The former Aston Villa captain will now look to seize his opportunity.
And although his first season was a little underwhelming on a personal level, Grealish has been backed for a big second season under Guardiola, with former boss Tim Sherwood expecting big things from him.

Speaking on behalf of 888sport, he said: “Jack will say himself that he can improve. He is no shrinking violet and the bigger the pressure, the more he stands up.
"I believe he will improve and with Raheem Sterling leaving that offers up more game-time to Jack. He will relish that because he wants to play and loves his football.
"He’s got great ability and if he continues to listen on the training field to the best manager I’ve ever seen he will improve his numbers, start running without the ball a little bit more, and put himself in more goal-scoring positions. He could have a great season and be a regular for Manchester City and that will further his claim with England.”
