Jack Grealish clearly likes the idea of ??Declan Rice joining Manchester City this summer and helping them win a second consecutive Champions League.
Watching Man City last season, it would be easy to wonder how the hell anyone stopped them from winning a second treble in a row and becoming the first English side to win four league titles in a row.
Pep Guardiola's side were virtually unstoppable in the second half of the season, winning 15 of their 16 league games from a loss to Tottenham Hotspur to a game against Chelsea when they won the title.
One really wonders what signings Guardiola will make during the transfer window to improve his near-perfect squad.

Well, like rubbing salt on Arsenal's wounds, after failing to beat Man City to win the title despite leading 93% of the season, they decided to turn their attention to Rice. The West Ham United captain remains the Gunners' first-choice signing, but they now face the English champions.
City fans were in high spirits this week when Grealish was spotted on social media liking a post about his England team-mate moving to the Etihad Stadium.

And now it's happening again as the former Aston Villa star pasted a star on a tweet asking why a City team, including Rice, can't win the Champions League anymore.
Now, chances are the Man City star will love the idea of ??being a two-time European champion, but it looks like he wants Rice to join him in Manchester. The squad also includes Mateo Kovacic in midfield alongside the West Ham player, and it looks likely Kovacic will arrive from Chelsea.

In addition to the two additions in the center of attack, the team also has RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvaridol in defense along with Ruben Dias and John Stones.
Stones played in midfield for most of the second half of the season thanks to a roster change but could return with new signings in midfield.
City fans have been encouraged by further clues as to where Rice might end up, with a video recreating the 24-year-old fanboy on Yaya Toure.
And there may even be more people coming to Manchester this summer, with Guardiola reportedly interested in Achraf Hakimi.
