Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has decided to quit the club and wants to move to a top-six Premier League club this summer.

The midfielder stayed with Villa after their relegation in 2016 but Steve Bruce’s men were beaten in the play-off final in May and are now facing financial difficulties.

Manchester United have shown interest in the 22-year-old but Spurs appear to be leading the race with a £20m bid ready to be submitted.

Villa had hoped to convince Grealish to stay at Villa Park but the midfielder is now determined to leave, according to the Mirror.

John Terry took Grealish under his wing last season and the former England captain is said to have played a key part in convincing the midfielder that he needs to play at a higher level.



Mauricio Pochettino is keen on Grealish and believes the midfielder can be rotated with the likes of Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.

Manchester United have already signed Brazil star Fred but are unlikely to move for a second midfielder with Marouane Fellaini set to sign a new deal.
