With praise like that he must be good.
Aston Villa will likely see a mass-exodus of players who think they are too good for the Championship this summer.
The doomed Premier League side are already preparing for life in English football’s second tier next season, with their relegation set to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
And among the talent *cough* that will be heading for the exit door is likely to be one of the club’s brightest young prospects.
The Mirror is reporting tonight that there are four Premier League sides lining up to fight it out for the signing of Andre Green.
The 17-year-old is described in the report as “an even better prospect than Jack Grealish” and what higher praise can one get than that.
Green made his debut for the club’s Under-21 side at just 15 and the newspaper reports that several Premier League scouts have been to see him over the last number of weeks ahead of an expected bidding war this summer.
Green has played twice this season for Villa, coming on as a substitute against Tottenham, and also featuring against Swansea.
