Manchester City forward Jack Grealish has admitted that buying a new headband in the colour he doesn’t already own would top any treble success at club level.
Appearing relaxed and upbeat whilst answering questions from the media ahead of England’s fixtures against Australia and Italy, the 28-year-old confirmed that he owns over 10,000 headbands in a variety of colours, so to find one he doesn’t have in his collection would be the most remarkable achievement of his career.
“With the owners pumping billions into the club, buying who they want when they want whilst avoiding any legal consequences, City were always going to win the treble, so Jack didn’t really see it as a big success,” explained a source close to the player.
“He’s a very down to earth and realistic guy, so for him to find a hair accessory in an uncommon colour like boysenberry or seafoam would be a much better feeling than winning the Champions League.”
When pushed on other things that would potentially top winning a treble, England representatives were quick to intervene, playing down Grealish’s feud with Newcastle’s Miguel Almiron, as well as his dislike of Birmingham City football club.

“Jack respects Miguel Almiron and takes absolutely no joy in seeing him play badly or miss a sitter every so often. He definitely doesn’t jeer at the tele every time Almiron appears.
“He also respects Birmingham City football club despite being a Villa fan, hero and having run-ins with Blues fans in the past,” an England delegate stated.
Elsewhere in the England camp, Paddy Power News understands Harry Kane has taken to speaking German to the rest of the players in a bid to convince them of his happiness at Bayern Munich.
With his former club Tottenham Hotspur sitting nicely at the top of the Premier League, Kane is doing everything he can to prove to his teammates that leaving London was the right thing to do.
“He’s drinking all his water out of a 2L stein glass, asking for the chef to put Bratwurst on the menu and constantly going on about how cool his new best mate, Jamal Musiala, is.
“It’s all Jamal this, Jamal that. Pathetic,” blasted James Maddison.
