George Boateng explained on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Friday morning (broadcast from 6am, January 27, 2017) why Aston Villa youngster Jack Grealish should join Middlesbrough in the January transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Premier League outfit Middlesbrough are interested in signing the attacker from Championship outfit Villa this month.

It has been reported that Boro are exploring the possibility of signing the youngster should 26-year-old attacking midfielder Gaston Ramirez leave for Leicester City this month.

Former Middlesbrough defensive midfielder Boateng has explained why Grealish should consider a move to Aitor Karanka’s side before the January transfer window shuts next week.

Grealish has scored three goals and created 20 chances in 21 Championship appearances for Villa so far this season.

The 21-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, has a lot of potential and could be a good signing for Boro.

Villa are 13th in the Championship table at the moment, while Middlesbrough are currently 16th in the Premier League standings.
