He has alot to learn still. What better club to do that than your boyhood club. Fulfill some dreams as a young boy. He has plenty of time to make big money and goto big clubs. If he goes too early before he develops properly.. he will end up on loan in Vitesse and end up at a championship club.

Jack Grealish poised to kill off Chelsea and Manchester City interest by signing new Aston Villa contract

 

By John Percy

 

Jack Grealish is poised to sign a new £20,000-a-week contract at Aston Villa after joining Stellar Group, the football agency which represents Gareth Bale and Ashley Cole.

Grealish, the highly-rated teenage winger, is expected to conclude talks in the next 48 hours over a four-year deal that will land him a significant pay increase and kill off interest from clubs including Chelsea andManchester City.

 

The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in the Premier League and had been at the centre of a fierce battle between a number of leading agencies for the past few months.

But Stellar, who are co-owned by Jonathan Barnett, have won the chase to sign him up after reaching an agreement with Grealish’s father Kevin this month.

 

It is thought that negotiations with Villa have been conducted through Stellar agent David Manasseh. Grealish has only made four appearances as a substitute for Villa this season but has been on the radar of clubs including Chelsea and City for a number of years following his progress at academy level.

 

Chelsea had identified him as a potential target and were encouraged by his contract situation, with his current £2,000-a-week deal expiring at the end of this season.

 

However, talks are understood to have progressed rapidly over the last 24 hours and Villa are expected to announce Grealish has committed his future to the club in the next few days.

 

Paul Lambert, the Villa manager, has frequently insisted Grealish’s career would be best served staying in the West Midlands and the club were always confident of retaining him as his association with the club began when he was only six years old.

 

Grealish is also considering a decision on his international future, with England and Ireland both keen on taking the Birmingham-born player. He has played for the Ireland under-21s but Gareth Southgate wants him to choose England.

 

Roy Keane, the Ireland and Villa assistant manager, insisted last week that too much pressure was already being heaped on the youngster’s shoulders.

 

“He’s done very little in the game yet. People are getting a bit carried away, he’s not started a game in the league for Villa, he’s not scored a goal yet, he’s not got an assist yet,” he said.

 

“If he wants to come and play for Ireland, we’ll be delighted but we can’t be begging people either. If they want to play for Ireland, fantastic. If not, we’ll have to accept it.”
