Jack Grealish is playing well for Aston Villa at the moment.
Jack Grealish is one of the best young players in England, and the Aston Villa attacking midfielder has long been linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Express, Tottenham wanted to sign Grealish from Villa in the summer transfer window, and were planning to make a move for the 23-year-old in the January transfer window.
Grealish, who can also operate as a winger, signed a new long-term contract with Villa in September to put flight to that speculation.
The Villa star has now dropped further hint that he is not going to leave Villa in the foreseeable future, stating his desire to play in the Premier League with the Villans.
Grealish told The Birmingham Mail: “Where I want to be is back in the Premier League with this club. It is tight. It’s such a crazy league, the Championship.
“People used to say that to me and when you are in the Premier League, you don’t really take notice.
“It’s a good league, it’s tough and I like it. But the Premier League is where I want to be, with Villa.”
Key figure
Grealish is one of the most talented players in the current Villa team and is a key figure in manager Dean Smith’s team.
According to WhoScored, the attacking midfielder has scored two goals and provided two assists in 18 Championship appearances for Villa so far this season.
Villa are eighth in the Championship table at the moment with 27 points from 18 matches, just four points behind sixth-placed Derby County.
