Jack Grealish urged to reject Man United and Liverpool moves in favour of Arsenal transfer

Jack Grealish has been urged to reject Manchester United's interest in him and instead make a move to Arsenal.

The attacking midfielder starred for Aston Villa in the Premier League this season and was a key reason why they narrowly managed to avoid relegation back to the Championship.

His form has attracted interest from Manchester United.

Former Scotland midfielder Don Hutchinson feels Grealish would also fit in well at Liverpool.

Yet he argued that both Liverpool and United's midfield strength means it would be difficult for Grealish to break into either side in the short-term.

Instead, Hutchinson feels a move to Arsenal could be beneficial.

He said that, whilst Grealish alone would not solve the Gunners' issues, signing him would be a statement of intent that could attract other players to the club.

"I think it’s all about timing," Hutchison told ESPN FC.

"The form of Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba has probably swayed Ole to stick with those two, if Paul Pogba hangs around, so timing is probably not on Jack’s side to go somewhere like Man United.

"I think he’d be a good signing for them, obviously, Liverpool as well.

"I think Arsenal at this present time would be a very good move for him.

"Having said that, it just depends on who else Arsenal bring in.

"Because if they expect to bring in Jack Grealish for between £40-45m and expect Arsenal to get to the top four, it ain’t gonna happen.

"So, if Jack Grealish is a stepping stone in terms of they’re going to then attract better players in different positions I.e. centre-halves, then they have got a chance.

"I think for Jack it will be a pretty good move because they’re a footballing side."
