According to a report by Give Me Sport, Arsenal have ruled out a move for 29-year-old Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish. It will be interesting to see if the player joins another club this summer.
The English international has been linked with Everton as well. Grealish needs to leave Manchester City if he wants to play regularly. He needs to join a competitive club, and a move to Arsenal would have been ideal for him. The Gunners need more depth on the flanks, and the Manchester City star could have been a useful acquisition.
However, he has not been at his best in recent seasons and signing him would have been a gamble. It is no surprise that Arsenal have decided to walk away from the move.
The 29-year-old was outstanding for Aston Villa during his time at the West Midlands club, and he will look to get back to that level once again. He needs to play regularly, and he should join a club where he will have plenty of opportunities. He also needs to work with a manager who has faith in his ability. There is no doubt that he is a tremendous player, and he is still very much at the peak of his powers.
The move to Everton might be ideal for him this summer. He will be able to enjoy his football without being put under too much pressure. The Merseyside outfit need more creativity in the final third, and Grealish could be the ideal acquisition for them as well.
The Manchester City star is capable of slotting into the attacking midfielder role as well as on the flanks. His versatility will be a bonus for Everton if they manage to sign the player.
It remains to be seen if any club comes forward with an offer to sign the player in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Arsenal need more depth on the flanks, and they should look to bring in quality additions before the summer transfer window closes.
Gabriel Martinelli was mediocre last season, and Arsenal need a dynamic attacker who is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles.
