Jack Grealish has revealed who the weakest player at Aston Villa is.

The Aston Villa star was speaking to Joe.co.uk about FIFA 21 statistics.

And the 25-year-old has responded that a certain Matt Targett might as well have a zero in regards to the physicality stat.

He said: “Matt Targett, left-back. Nah, not at all [he doesn’t use weight machines]. I bodied him the other day in training so I can’t wait for him to see this.”

Weak or not, the 25-year-old is one of the players who could have a brilliant season at Aston Villa this time around.

Targett has played every minute of the Villans’ three Premier League games so far – including the 7-2 win over Liverpool this past weekend.

Dean Smith’s side had an abysmal defensive record last season, avoiding relegation to the Championship by a point, but Targett was arguably one of the better signings that arrived at Bodymoor Heath.

Villa, who sit second in the Premier League table after winning all three of their games, have a visit to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday week following the international break.
