Grealish committed to Aston Villa for the rest of the season

Jack Grealish has informed Aston Villa he won’t be leaving the club this month, as reported by Mirror.

The attacking midfielder, capable of playing as a winger too, has been heavily linked with Manchester United in recent months along with Leicester City’s James Maddison, with the Red Devils at younger British players as their preferred targets for any position they feel they need to strengthen. A number of reports have claimed that those two players are United’s primary targets for the January transfer window.

However, while Leicester appear adamant they will not be selling any important players this month, Grealish has expressed his commitment to Villa and promised to do his best to help them keep their place in the Premier League for next season. He is, however, likely to leave the club in the summer, despite his contract net expiring before 2023.

The 23-year-old’s contribution has been important for Villa this season. He has so far scored nine and assisted six goals in 24 appearances in all competitions.
