Aston Villa journalist Gregg Evans has revealed where things stand at the moment regarding Villa club captain Jack Grealish and his future at Villa Park. 

This comes after Evans recently made an appearance on The Athletic’s Villa-themed podcast 1874 where he talked about the latest goings-on at the club.

In this 2019/20 season quiz, do you remember who scored Villa's first PL goal of the season?

On the subject of Grealish, who has been linked with a move away from Villa this summer with both Manchester clubs reportedly interested in the Englishman, Evans had this to say on the situation.

He said: “He’s still a Villa player, but if an opportunity comes for him to leave and a big club lodges a really serious bid for him and he’s got the chance to move to an elite club, he’s open to that, but at the moment, there’s no bid, so he’s still a Villa player, he’s still under contract and he will be preparing for the new season, but you just can’t say whether anything could change until that bid comes in.”

The 24-year-old, who is currently valued at £36 million, made his senior debut for Villa back in 2014. Since then, Grealish has made a total of 187 appearances for the Birmingham club across all competitions in which he has racked up a total of 25 goals and provided 31 assists for his teammates along the way (per Transfermarkt).

Grealish was Villa’s standout performer throughout their 2019/20 season, earning himself a season rating of 7.23/10 for his performances in the 36 league appearances he made for the club last year (per WhoScored).

Are you confident Jack Grealish will stay at Villa for this season?

Yes

Yes

No

TIF Thoughts…

Villa will presumably be hoping that no bids come in for Grealish this summer and that he won’t be persuaded to leave the club after being so impressive for them last season.

However, with the current summer transfer window open until early October, there is still time for a potential buyer for Grealish to come in with a bid for the Englishman.
