Speaking on The Invisible Wall Show (Via Goal), Gilberto Silva has suggested that Arsenal should sign Jack Grealish in the future.
The former midfielder is clearly impressed by what he has seen from Grealish this term, and it’s really easy to understand why.
The Aston Villa star has scored four goals and provided five assists in the Premier League this season, and the Brazilian believes that he could be a player Arsenal sign in the future.
“Grealish, amazing. It seems like he could be a player that Arsenal missed.” Silva said.
“With his ability, he was one of the guys in the middle who can play beautiful football. He controls the ball, assists and can score goals.
“He is slightly different from Dennis Bergkamp, but he could be somebody for the future at Arsenal.”
Silva isn’t the first ex-player to tip Grealish for a big move, and he won’t be the last.
Grealish is certainly headed straight for the top, but whether or not that’s with Arsenal remains to be seen.
The midfielder is a life-long Aston Villa fan, so it will take something big to pry him away from Villa Park, and with Arsenal not playing Champions League football for four seasons now, it’s hard to imagine that they will be able to tempt him.
However, stranger things have happened, and if the Gunners do go in for the attacking midfielder, it will be interesting to see whether or not Grealish considers the Emirates a viable destination.
Of course, there are no concrete links between the two as of yet, but a player of the 25-year-old’s calibre should certainly be linked with club’s the size of Arsenal.
