Jack Grealish is one of the outstanding individual talents at Aston Villa.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Orjan Nyland has claimed that teammate Jack Grealish seriously impresses him in training.

Grealish is viewed by many as the brilliant individuals at the Midlands giants and he signed a new five-year contract with the club this week.

The attacking midfielder is a mainstay in the starting XI and the technically gifted ace can be a serious threat in the final third.

Summer signing Nyland has explained that Grealish is the one player that has blown him away with his ability behind closed doors.

“He’s (Grealish) obviously a great player. You can spot that very quickly,” Nyland said, as quoted by the club’s official website.

“I am so impressed with him in training – the thing that stands out is his great touch.

“He knows exactly what is happening all the time on the pitch. You can give him the ball when you need something to happen – or even when you’re in trouble and need an outlet.”

Grealish is going to hold the key to any potential promotion bid from Villa this season, but as it stands Steve Bruce’s side are mid-table and struggling to find any consistency.

The creative maestro is still not yet reaching his own top level on an individual basis this campaign, as he’s still waiting to score his first goal in 10 appearances across all competitions.

The 23-year-old Englishman has shown in the past he can score spectacular goals and is just waiting to burst into life this season.

Villa travel to Bristol City on Friday night in their league fixture and supporters will hope Grealish takes the match by storm, something he is more than capable of doing.
