Grealish to Leeds United mooted by Elland Road favourite after Solomon update
Jack Grealish is almost certain to leave Manchester City this summer, with Leeds United now touted as a possible destination.
The England international has been somewhat cast aside at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola continues to utilise other players in his position.
This has seen the 29-year-old strongly linked with a departure from the Etihad as he looks to reignite his career moving into the new season.
As a result, a potential switch to Elland Road could be on the cards, especially with Manor Solomon departing at the end of the campaign.
Grealish could replace Solomon at Leeds United
The winger was in LS11 on a temporary deal, but it is fair to say he became one of the most important players in Daniel Farke’s squad.
This saw the Israel international net the goal to win Leeds the title away at Plymouth, with his tenth strike of the Championship season.
Given how successful his loan spell was, finding an alternative for the winger will pose a challenge to Farke, with Grealish representing a potential replacement.
The Whites could certainly offer the Englishman regular minutes in the Premier League, after being subjected to just seven starts at City.
This has seen former Elland Road favourite Ross McCormack put forward the idea of signing the attacking midfielder as a replacement for Solomon, live on talkSPORT (5 June, 07:42am).
He said: “It’ll be interesting to see where he goes. I think the most important thing for Jack is that he goes somewhere where he’s going to feel loved and has the freedom to go and express himself.
“Solomon is away back to Spurs, so I’ll take Jack at Leeds if that’s ok?”
Grealish could complete shock Leeds United transfer
With the LS11 club moving into the Premier League, there is a need for experienced heads to come and join the squad in the coming weeks.
There is a general lack of prior top division minutes within the current side, something which Grealish would certainly add to straight away.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 190 | 27 | 31 |
| Champions League | 34 | 2 | 4 |
| EFL Cup | 18 | 3 | 4 |
| FA Cup | 28 | 3 | 8 |
Although the former Aston Villa man may not represent a straight swap for Solomon, there is no doubt that he has quality, which could make him superb at Elland Road.
If a deal could be agreed with the Citizens, the Englishman could be the perfect man to link up with the likes of Joel Piroe and Dan James coming into the new season.
