Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish has rejected criticism of his title celebrations last week.
The 26-year-old's celebrations after City were crowned Premier League champions have been widely covered. He was pictured drinking during the club's open bus parade before holidaying in Ibiza.
He is now back with the England team preparing for Nations League games against Hungary, Germany and Italy.
"I know people were saying last week, 'Oh, he's doing too much'. But what? I've just won the Premier League. It's a dream come true. Why can't I go on holiday?" Grealish told The Mirror.
"There's people that are at England with me now who went to Vegas, Ibiza, Marbella, all these places. No one said a word, but because it was me, people were saying things."
He continued: "I'm doing what I have loved doing my whole life. I'm the most expensive British player but I'm also the Jack from Solihull who my friends and family know. I'll never let that leave me, no matter what anyone says."
