Police investigating the Boxing Day raid on Jack Grealish's home are looking at the possibility that the gang were given inside information about his whereabouts.

Burglars struck the Manchester City winger's home in Cheshire on December 26, while he was playing against Everton at Goodison Park, and stole up to £1million in jewels and watches.

Police investigating the raid, which took place while Grealish's fiancé and family were inside, are supposedly looking into whether the gang 'had any inside information' about the fact he would not be home at the time.

A source told MailOnline that such crimes are often carried out by 'serious organised crime networks' who will have 'huge pools of intelligence about what players are doing and when'.
