Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Jack Grealish could walk into 'any team in the world' - and has named Catalan giants Barcelona and Serie A stalwarts Juventus as potential destinations.

The ex-Villan has backed Grealish for a big move to a top side - if he is to leave Villa at all, and believes that his old-teammate is amongst the best players in the country.

“The good thing about Jack is that he can run with and without the ball, play in different positions and score goals. He is the type of player that fans of football will go to a game to specifically watch him, even if they aren't fans of Villa.”

“I am not just saying this as I have played with him, but I honestly think he is the best attacking midfield option that England have got at this current time,” said Agbonlahor to The Sun ( Via the Evening Standard ).

Because of that, Gabby believes that Grealish is set for much better things than Old Trafford, due to United's current standing in the football world.

“That is why, when people say Grealish to Manchester United, he could do so much better than that.

“He could walk into any team in the world, even Barcelona or Juventus.

“For where Manchester United are now, he could go to better teams around the world, so he doesn't need to limit himself to just United and focus on teams who are playing in the Champions League."

For now, the attention will focus onto tomorrow's Carabao Cup final with Manchester City - yet another showpiece game that could send Grealish's value and reputation skyrocketing.
