Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has had an extensive career as a Premier League player.
At the age of 34, the Englishman has made 398 Premier League appearances, 200 of which have been with City.
Therefore, Walker has played with and against a wide range of players throughout his senior career.
With the full-back now in the midst of his eighth season at the Etihad Stadium, he has now pinpointed who the biggest wind-up merchant is in the City squad.
Kyle Walker names Man City’s biggest wind-up merchant
When asked in a recent episode of You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker which current player he knows likes to annoy people on the pitch and in training, the right-back said this in response.
He said: “Jack Grealish. Yeah, Grealish is like, he’ll wind anyone up. He loves it as well.”
Grealish has a knack for frustrating opponents
City paid a club-record fee of £100m to sign Grealish from fellow Premier League side Aston Villa back in the 2021 summer transfer window.
During his time with Pep Guardiola’s side, the winger has made 131 appearances for City across all competitions, scoring 14 goals, delivering 19 assists and winning several trophies in the process.
In addition to facing off against Walker as an opponent on three occasions, Grealish has featured in 79 games with the defender at City.
This shows just how well they know each other and how aware Walker will be of how much Grealish enjoys winding players up.
Even though the 29-year-old only appeared in 20 Premier League games last season, he still managed to draw the second-highest number of fouls (41) in the City squad.
With Walker now saying that Grealish enjoys winding players up, this could factor into why he gets fouled so often compared to other players at the club.
