MANCHESTER CITY star Jack Grealish has announced he will make his debut in a shock and “unique” new career.
The £100million British transfer record man is keen to show his talents do not just lie on the football field.
And he revealed in October that he was learning to become a DJ.
Now, he will put his training to the test having linked up with superstar Dutch house DJ Oliver Heldens for a set in the metaverse.
Grealish, 27, tweeted: “DJ Grealo’s debut…Together with @OKX, @OliverHeldens and I are holding my first ever DJ set in the #OKXCollective metaverse. You won’t want to miss this.”
Grealish, who last season helped City to the Premier League title, confessed his love for music before last year’s winter World Cup.

He told BT Sport earlier this season: “Mate, do you know what? You know me. Actually, I like every type of music.
“I’m actually trying to start, I’m trying to learn to DJ at the moment.”
Presenter Josh Denzel cut in: “Jack Grealish the DJ, yeah?”
Grealish responded: “Yeah, DJ Greal-O. Nah, I don’t know what name [it] is.”

Denzel asked: “How good are you at DJing? Because I tried and I gave up.”
Grealish admitted: “I am awful, I am awful but everything takes time, doesn’t it? I’m trying to learn Spanish as well. Spanish in a brummy accent, yeah.
“But I just want like, do you know what it is? I want to try and learn some stuff outside of football and have like a hobby and stuff.
“I watch a few stuff on TV but when I thought about it, I don’t actually do a lot of stuff outside of football.
“So I want to learn to do some stuff. People say DJing, and once you get the hang of it – obviously it takes a lot of time – but it’s something that you can really enjoy.”
Despite Grealish’s struggles on the decks, he has been in fine form this season with five goals, seven assists and 45 appearances.
And City are on track for another title having overtaken Arsenal by a point with a game in hand.
