    Enzo Maresca on opponents Crystal Palace: "Palace away is always complicated.

    "They are a good team and a new manager has arrived. You can see from the games in pre-season and their opening Premier League game that it is quite clear what they want to do.

    "It's quite similar to the work of the former manager [Oliver Glasner].

    "It is going to be a tough game."

    As an Evertonian, I like Grealish, but we shouldn’t sign him. Way too injury-prone.

    On Marc Guehi playing in midfield against his former club Palace, Enzo Maresca said: "We will see. It is an option.

    "The good thing about Marc, is that in this moment, he gives us one more option in the middle.

    "Tomorrow we will see. We have a session now and then in a few hours we decide the first XI."

    Jack Grealish's preference would be to return to Everton should he leave Manchester City in the remaining days of the transfer window, sources have told BBC Sport.

    The 30-year-old has appeared as a substitute in City's opening two games of the season, but new boss Enzo Maresca is open to letting the Englishman leave the club before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

    Grealish spent last season with the Toffees, scoring twice and providing six assists in 20 appearances, before sustaining a season-ending foot injury in January.

    Everton chief executive Angus Kinnear recently told BBC Radio Merseyside the club have "remained in contact" with the player.

    Grealish's former club Aston Villa are also believed to still be interested in re-signing their ex-captain, but City sources say there have been no concrete offers from any club so far this summer.

    On RayanCherki and his role in the team, Enzo Maresca said: "He made an impact the other day. In terms of quality, he is a different player to the rest because he can give us moments when we struggle, particularly in the last third.

    "He has the quality that we need, but it depends also on the gameplan and the opponent that we play.

    "There's no doubt that he's going to help now and in the future. I am very happy with the way that he's working."

    More from Enzo Maresca on Bouaddi's characteristics: "He's quite calm and he doesn't look 18. He already looks mature and that's important.

    "We need to go slowly because he is very young and he's come from another country, so there's no rush for him.

    "For sure, he's going to help us now and in the future."

    "It's my job - and the club - to try to manage him in the best way, so not to put pressure on him. He's young and he needs time."

    New Manchester City signing Ayyoub Bouaddi says it is a "dream" to join "the best club in the world".

    The 18-year-old Morocco midfielder has moved from Lille in a £85.6m deal and signed a five-year deal with City.

    Enzo Maresca's side moved to sign Bouaddi after selling central midfielders Rodri to Barcelona in a £65m deal, Tijjani Reinders to Al-Qadsiah for £52m and agreeing to let Nico Gonzalez join Newcastle in a deal worth up to £52m.

    "This is a very special day for me and my family," Bouaddi said on the move.

    "Manchester City are, for me, the best club in the world. It's a dream to be here and be able to call myself a City player. I have spent most of my life working hard to become the best player I can be and reach the top of the game.

    "I've watched City for many years, and I love their style of play. City always try and play quality football. And they have shown they are winners – this club feels like it's built to win.

    "I have plenty of improving to do. I am only 18. This is undoubtedly the best place for me to do that.

    "This club demands trophies and I will give everything to make sure we are challenging for every title."

    Can we please just free Jack from his City prison. I'm sure Everton or Villa would love him. Surely we can nab £40m for him, or maybe include him in a deal for Ndiaye? I love the guy but he needs moving on.

    On the importance of signing another experienced player before the transfer deadline, Enzo Maresca said: "It's not about experienced players. I've said many times that, for me, age does not open or close doors. It depends how good they are.

    "At my former club [Chelsea], we had the youngest squad ever in the history of the Premier League and in this moment we are quite young in terms of age but they have the right experience."

  20. Ipswich move to take Villa's Abraham on loanpublished at 10:53 BST

    Ipswich are progressing with a move to take Tammy Abraham on loan from Aston Villa.

    The striker is poised to leave Villa Park with Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson closing in on a £65m move to the club.

    That would also mean Ollie Watkins is expected to join Al-Hilal for around £51m as Villa completely revamp their forward line.

    Villa had been open to letting Abraham go despite only signing him from Besitkas for £18.25m in January.

    Abraham was happy at Villa and was preparing to fight for his place but is now likely to move to Portman Road. It is due to be a straight loan, with no option or obligation for Ipswich to buy the 28-year-old.

    He had scored three goals in 17 appearances for Villa, having previously played for them on loan to help them back into the Premier League in 2018-19.

    Ipswich have spent around £150m on 12 summer signings since returning to the Premier League.
