Jack Grealish has revealed his Manchester City team-mate Erling Haaland‘s real favourite food.
Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm since arriving at the Etihad Stadium last summer. The Norwegian striker netted 52 goals last term to help City to the Treble, and he is leading the way in the Premier League this season with 13 goals in 12 matches.
His success has largely been credited with adopting an unusual diet that consists of cow’s heart and liver, but Grealish has claimed the 23-year-old prefers several other more common dishes.
After racking his brain for an answer, Grealish stated Haaland likes kebab pizza and Jack’s pasta, which has a creamy tomato sauce.
He then mentioned that Haaland enjoys a certain starter which drew a laugh from Haaland, who was sat next to him.

But he could not help but laugh after Jack Grealish revealed his real favourite foods, which included kebab pizza and focaccia bread
Writing on a whiteboard, Grealish may not have got the spelling correct but finally revealed Haaland is a massive fan of focaccia bread.
Grealish’s revelation may shock some fans given that Haaland has always appeared very disciplined in terms of what he puts into his body.
As well as cow’s heart and liver, Haaland has also previously opened up on his love for a unique milk smoothie laced with spinach and kale.
He has posted pictures of himself drinking the smoothie on Instagram, labelling it his ‘magic potion’.
After Grealish spilt Haaland’s secret of loving kebab pizza, pasta and focaccia bread, the latter quickly got the chance to get his own back.
Haaland was asked to name Grealish’s favourite food, at which point the England winger declared he has the ‘best body fat in the team’ before admitting he does ‘eat a lot of bad stuff’.

Haaland confirmed this as he wrote down that Grealish loves nothing more than tucking into Nando’s, McDonald’s and pizza.
Grealish responded by joking: ‘He’s just made me sound like the fattest footballer in the Prem!’
Whatever Haaland and Grealish have been eating it seems to be working with City sitting top of the table.
The pair will be hoping to cement top spot when Pep Guardiola’s men face Liverpool at the Etihad on Saturday.
