Gabriel Agbonlahor has taken to Instagram to give his reaction to Jack Grealish leaving Dean Smith’s Aston Villa for Manchester City.
Premier League champions City completed the signing of Grealish from Villa last night.
The Citizens reportedly paid Villa £100 million to secure the services of the 25-year-old England international attacking midfielder.
Former Villa star Agbonlahor has given his verdict on the transfer on Instagram, and ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest midfielder Jermaine Jenas has responded to it.
Jenas had a loan spell at Villa from Tottenham in 2011.
Interestingly, Agbonlahor has predicted that Grealish will return to Villa in the future to watch his boyhood team play.
Grealish did all he could for Villa – the club he loves and supports.
It is really hard to turn down City right now.
The Citizens won the Premier League title last season and also reached the Champions League final.
City are a force to be reckoned with in the world of football and are a very rich club.
Grealish is unlikely to be at City forever, and perhaps in the coming years, he could return to Villa – as a player.
For now, the Villa fans should wish Grealish the best of luck at his new club and hope that he does well at the Etihad Stadium.
