Robinson: ‘Any top club would take Grealish from Aston Villa’

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson thinks ‘any top European club’ would want to sign Jack Grealish right now.

The Aston Villa captain is in great form and has been one of England’s best players during the international break.

He’s been linked with Man Utd in the past and could make a big money move next summer.

But some pundits are asking for calm over the Grealish hype train which seems to have started.

One former player who isn’t stopping the hype is Robinson.

He thinks that all of Europe’s elite clubs should be looking at signing Grealish to improve their teams.

Speaking to Football Insider, he said: “Top teams in Europe will be looking at Grealish and no disrespect to Aston Villa but they are not on the same level as Man City, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

“He loves the club but if he wants to win things at some point he will have to leave Aston Villa. It depends on his ambition.

“I would absolutely love to see him in a Tottenham shirt.

“Any top club in Europe will take Jack Grealish right now if they could but he signed a new contract so Aston Villa will demand a huge price tag for him.

“If a club does have the money and Grealish wants to play Champions League football then a move is possible.

“I can see Jack Grealish at one of Europe’s top clubs.”

United were interested in a deal during the summer but they baulked at Villa’s huge asking price.

Villa officials clearly made the right choice not to cash in.

Grealish has been instrumental in their great start to the campaign.

They’ve already thrashed Liverpool 7-2 and currently sit in sixth in the Premier League.

Grealish has taken his form to England duty as well. The 25-year-old was arguably his country’s best player as they lost 2-0 to Belgium.

Just about all of the greatest uncapped Premier League players ever were pursued by England. And only four of them were English.
