Raheem Sterling has backed Jack Grealish to shine at the highest level with Manchester City after his £100m move from Aston Villa.
Grealish completed the British record transfer to the Etihad Stadium last week after participating for England during the Euro 2020 tournament this summer, where they reached the final before losing to Italy on penalties.
Also part of that squad were new City teammates Sterling, Kyle Walker and John Stones who will now link up with him at club level after returning to training following the tournament.
And Sterling, who has occupied the left-wing position for much of his time in the blue half of Manchester, believes Grealish is in the perfect place to improve and show his quality at the highest level.

“Whenever you make a signing, it is always a good thing for the club. It shows they want more as a club and it deserves more,” Sterling told City’s website.
“We have signed a great player and someone that wants to prove himself at the highest level. I don’t think there is any better club for him to try and do that.
“I met him at Villa, but during the international period it was the first time I was really around him for a long period of time. He is a player that always wants the ball, he gets in good pockets of space and he is creative.
“It adds another creative player to this team which I am really excited about so hopefully he can add a few more goals to my tally.
“When you add good players to your team it is always a good thing. He is a player I believe can truly have a great career here.”
Grealish is in line for his first start against Tottenham this weekend in the Premier League opener, while Sterling could return to action too despite not featuring during pre-season.
