Jack Grealish’s future at Aston Villa looks bleak as Premier League rivals circle

Jacking it in.

If things had worked out differently, Jack Grealish could have been getting ready to feature for Ireland in our upcoming friendlies this month ahead of the Euros.

Instead, the Aston Villa misfit is not in his club team and has not featured on England’s radar either since declaring for Roy Hodgson’s side last autumn.

2015 ended badly with Grealish frozen out by Villa boss Remi Garde, and 2016 hasn’t gone much better.

The club is staring down the barrel of relegation, and Grealish is still kicking his heels after falling out with his manager.

So it’s no surprise to hear that the 20-year-old is likely to leave the club this summer as part of a mass exodus.

According to The Telegraph, Grealish is set to depart as he does not fancy the prospect of playing in the Championship, and especially does not see any future under Garde at his boyhood club.

West Ham are one of the clubs believed to be interested in the ex-Irish underage international, and it’s suggested he may be sold for as cheap as £5million.

But at least, he is still loving life despite all the transfer speculation

Although it does seem that some fans may already have forgotten about him.
