Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher has questioned Manchester City's deal for Jack Grealish.

Carragher believes that could end up being the difference between Pep Guardiola's side retaining their league crown or not.

He said: "Signing Grealish will not be the difference between City defending their title or finally winning the Champions League this season.

"Signing (Harry) Kane, or a world-class striker capable of scoring between 20 or 30 goals this season, might be."

Carragher pointed to the Eithad giants 1-0 loss against Tottenham last week as proof of how much they're in need of an attacker.

Writing in The Telegraph, he added: "That was clear in last weekend's defeat to Spurs.

"City obviously had the funds to buy Kane for £150 million at the start of the summer but decided to match the £100 million clause for Jack Grealish.

"At the moment, it looks like they got their priorities wrong.

"Grealish is a fine player. He will do well at City. I understand why he wanted to move.

"What I cannot get my head around is why City did not attend to their more pressing needs first."
