'Agent Jack' - fans love Grealish's cheeky attempt to get Jude Bellingham to Man City

Fans have been loving Jack Grealish’s cheeky attempt at playing agent to lure Jude Bellingham to Manchester City.

Bellingham’s future at Borussia Dortmund is unclear beyond the end of the season with a host of suitors waiting to pounce.

A bidding war is expected for the exciting 19-year-old with City joining Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid for the in-demand midfielder.

Liverpool are believed to be leading the chase for Bellingham but it appears Grealish is not willing to leave anything to chance and did his bit to convince Bellingham to move to the Etihad Stadium.

Grealish’s Manchester City teammate Manuel Akanji posted a photo of himself on Instagram alongside the caption: “was on my grind and now I got what I deserve.”

Bellingham – who played with Akanji at Dortmund – tagged teammate Giovanni Reyna into his reply which read: “@gioareyna he’s changed.”

Grealish, presumably with a big smile on his face, then decided to take it upon himself to open up transfer discussions by abruptly writing: “Come to City xx.”

Unsurprisingly, Bellingham did not offer a public reply to his fellow England international’s comment but fans were loving Grealish’s efforts, which attracted more than 10,000 ‘likes’.

It led to some fans labelling him ‘agent Jack’ in the comment section.

Former Birmingham City star Bellingham is viewed as a generational talent and efforts will be stepped up this summer to land him.

City may need to look for a replacement for Ikay Gundogan who will become a free agent in the summer.

Jurgen Klopp is bracing himself for a shake up at Liverpool with three midfielder’s out of contract at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue to construct a youthful midfield for the future and want Bellingham to join Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde at the Bernabeu.

For now, Bellingham’s focus is on ending the season on a high note with Dortmund who are two-points behind leaders Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title race.
