How Is Grealish Responsible For Almiron’s Form?
The 28-year-old’s pace was frightening as he bamboozled the Spurs defender and he is putting himself in contention for the Premier League Player of the Month award.
However, former Liverpool defender Carragher reckons that Grealish has motivated Almiron to improve his game.
“The form this man is in is absolutely scintillating,” Carragher during his co-commentary for Sky Sports.
“It comes from Lloris again, it’s not a great pass out wide but Almiron just goes past Lenglet like he’s not there. The goalkeeper throws his arms out again but he should do better, Hugo.
“The confidence this lad has got now, he wouldn’t have done that last season. No doubt about it.
“He just opens his body up and finds that far corner after showing the strength initially but the confidence to go past the defender and open it up.

“This fella is a different player and the man that’s motivated it is not just Eddie Howe, it’s Jack Grealish.”
Grealish sent a subtle dig at Almiron following City’s title win after he claimed that Riyad Mahrez “played like Almiron” in their 3-2 win over Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old made the comments after Mahrez struggled in their victory at the Etihad Stadium as City limped their fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
