FOOTBALLER Jack Grealish has been named Manchester City’s worst dressed player — despite seeing himself as a trendsetter.
Winger Grealish, 28, had previously said his team-mate Rodri had the most offensive clobber, describing it as “awful”.
But the tables were turned on the England star when the Spanish midfielder said in an interview that he thought Grealish was the club’s worst dressed player.
Grealish posted the clip on his Instagram page alongside a shocked face emoji.
In the interview, 27-year-old Rodri is asked who is the worst-dressed on the team.
He replies: “They say it’s me but I don’t agree. I think it’s Jack.”

When Grealish was asked the same question in May, he said: “Rodri. He’s awful. Awful.”
It comes after Brummie Grealish landed a £10million sponsorship deal with Gucci.
He also signed a £10million-a-season deal to become the face of sports brand Puma until 2028.
Johan Adamsson, Puma’s global director of sports marketing and sports licensing, said: “He turns heads on and off the pitch with his quick feet and personal style.”

Grealish also got a six-figure sum for a clothing collaboration with BoohooMAN.
An Instagram fan page is dedicated to his outfits and he has been dubbed “the most marketable footballer since David Beckham”, with brands desperate for a piece of the player.
Brand marketing expert Andy Barr said: “One of the reasons why organisations are queueing up to try and work with Grealish is because he does not yet realise that he is more than just an elite level sports person, he is actually now a global brand.”
Grealish, said to earn £300,000 a week at Manchester City, became the most expensive footballer in British history when he joined the club from Aston Villa in a £100million deal.
