Sterling, Foden and Grealish battling for first XI spots at City‘It’s good for us because none of them are going to be flogged’Gareth Southgate has challenged Jack Grealish to build on the promising start to his
England career by becoming a bigger goalscoring threat. Grealish is yet to open his account at international level and Southgate, who thinks the winger has become more tactically aware since his £100m move to
Manchester City, wants him to increase his output in the final third.
The obvious contrast is with Raheem Sterling, who has 18 goals in 70 appearances for England. The City forward, who scored three goals during the run to the final of Euro 2020, sets the standard for Southgate’s other wide players to follow.
