Jack Grealish has called the Emirates Stadium his favourite ground to play at in the Premier League.

That’s right. Forget Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, the Etihad – or Emptihad if you’re that way inclined -St James’ Park, the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and so on, Villa captain Jack Grealish believes Arsenal’s home is the nicest place to ply his trade.

The 24-year-old posted a snap of himself during last week’s game against the Gunners with the caption: ‘Pleasure to play at this place. My Favourite stadium in the Prem.’

A lovely sentiment, yes.

But with Arsenal reportedly looking at loaning out Mesut Ozil in the January transfer window, and the Gunners presumably then in the market for a new central midfielder, the more sceptical among you might see this less as harmless admiration for the Emirates ground staff and more a “come-and-get-me” plea to Unai Emery.

Grealish has been previously expressed his disappointment over failing to secure a move to Tottenham, so a transfer to the red side of north London would be very spicy indeed.
