Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish wants to play in the Premier League.
Jack Grealish has spoken of his desperation to play in the Premier League and for the England national football team to The Daily Mail, and that will be a cause for concern for Aston Villa, with Tottenham Hotspur interested in the attacking player, as reported by The Mirror.
Villa have finished in the top six of the Championship this season and are aiming to clinch promotion to the Premier League via the Championship playoffs.
The Villans will take on West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged playoff semi-finals, and will face either Leeds United or Derby County in the final if they go through.
Grealish, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, has outlined his ambition and desperation to play in the Premier League and for England.
Grealish told The Daily Mail: “I’m 23 now and I’m not getting any younger. I want to challenge myself, I’m desperate to play in the Premier League and I want to play for England. So for me personally, I think this is the year we’ve got to get promoted really.”
Tottenham are interested in signing Grealish from Villa in the summer transfer window, according to The Mirror.
If the Villans are unable to clinch promotion to the Premier League, then they could find it hard to keep hold of the 23-year-old, especially with the young attacking player so desperate to play in the top flight of English football and enhance his career.
