New dad Grealish reveals why he would never ask Saka to babysit

  /  autty

JACK GREALISH has revealed which England team-mates he would and would NOT ask to babysit for him.

The Manchester City and England star and long-term partner Sasha Attwood had a daughter at the end of last month.

The couple welcomed a baby girl named Mila on September 27, hours before Grealish lined up to play for City against Newcastle.

It follows his Three Lions comeback under interim manager Lee Carsley after missing out on the Euro 2024 squad.

And speaking to BBC 5 Live Sport ahead of clashes against Greece and Finland, the 29-year-old has now revealed which England team-mates he would be happy to let babysit his kid.

On the best, he said: "Harry Kane I think. It's quite a young team so I wouldn't put it on any of the young lads and you know Harry, he's so reliable.

"One of the oldest lads, so yeah I'd go Harry."

He was then asked about club-mate Phil Foden, who himself has three children.

Grealish added: "Well yeah, you could say Phil actually. He's got a fair few hasn't he?

"[But] Yeah, I'm going to go Harry Kane."

The former Aston Villa star was then quizzed on who he reckons the worst babysitter would be.

He said: "The worst... I'm going to go [Bukayo] Saka. Yeah I'm going to go Bukayo.

"I just reckon he would be sloppy, you know, falling asleep and that."

Grealish was also asked who he would go to for parenting advice.

On that topic, he replied: "I'd go with [Jordan] Pickford. [I'm] Quite close with him."

He then added: "You know what actually, I could go with Dec [Declan Rice] as well.

"Maybe Dec or Jordan. Yeah, one of them two."

The penultimate question saw him asked who he reckons would be the "fun dad" out of the squad.

He said: "Can you go yourself or... Yeah go on I'll put myself down for that one."

The final question got him to name the "strict dad" of the group.

He replied: "I reckon someone like Marc Guehi. Just quite firm, you know, serious. Uncle Marc."

At the age of just 24 years old many of his peers at international level have given the Crystal Palace defender the nickname "Uncle Marc".

Jude Bellingham and Ezri Konsa first revealed the nickname back in July, while Kyle Walker also mentioned the name when speaking to John Stones about who could be a good future manager.

Grealish scored his third England goal last month against the Republic of Ireland and has earned 38 caps so far.
