The Citizens forward now faces added competition for places, but expects his fellow England international to help raise his own game
Raheem Sterling does not view Jack Grealish as a threat to his place at Manchester City, with the Citizens forward preferring to bill his fellow England international as another option that can improve his own goal return.
The reigning Premier League champions have smashed the British transfer record this summer to add the £100 million ($138m) playmaker to their ranks, snapped up from domestic rivals Aston Villa.
Grealish's arrival at Etihad Stadium means Sterling faces added competition for minutes, but the 26-year-old believes a player he knows well will help raise standards in Pep Guardiola's squad.
