Jack Grealish can’t catch a break.

The young Aston Villa midfielder has struggled to make any meaningful impact under Remi Garde since the Frenchman took control at Villa Park in October.

The former Ireland youth international was a favouite of ex-boss Tim Sherwood, but Garde clearly wants his midfielders to do something a little bit different to what the 20-year-old can offer.

Although considering the club are having a stinker of a season, we can’t understand how the playmaker cannot get a game.

Unsurprisingly a number of  teams have expressed an interest in the player and acquiring his services on loan this month, with QPR, Wolves, and Derby leading the list.

However all three clubs have been rebuffed in their amorous advances and now Leeds are the latest side to have been shot down in their attempts to secure the services of thea alleged nightlife lover as manager Steve Evans explained today,

(At least) one Leeds fan was excited
