Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has revealed he wouldn't sell Jack Grealish for £60million.

The young midfielder has had an impressive start to the new season, after breaking into the first team at Villa Park last term.

He was introduced as a half-time substitute by Sherwood in Tuesday's League Cup fixture against local rivals Birmingham City, and changed the game.

With the score at 0-0, and the drab game seemingly heading for an extra period, Grealish grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and turned it in Villa's favour, before Rudy Gestede headed the only goal.

Grealish shone when Villa beat Liverpool at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final last year, and Sherwood is hoping for a repeat performance at Anfield on Saturday.

“I wouldn’t want to sell Jack Grealish for £60million today put it that way," Sherwood replied when asked how much his young charge is worth. “I know what he could possibly be.

“What looks expensive this year might not be expensive next year. That’s the way the game is going.

“He’s a great player is Jack, but he’s got to realise – I’ve been on at him every day – there is more to the game than just when you’re in possession.

“That Liverpool game was huge with a lot of expectancy and pressure, it didn’t faze him, he grew more.

“He is certainly a type of player we have seen at the very top level for the likes of Liverpool and in the past for Aston Villa, we have to recognise that.

“He’s not shop window job, he’s our player, and we couldn’t put a price on him. I certainly wouldn't.”
