Paul McGrath has taken to social networking site Twitter to defend Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.

Grealish recently admitted to The Telegraph that he was disappointed not to get his move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.

According to The Telegraph, Spurs wanted to sign the 23-year-old in a £25 million move from Championship side Villa.

Recent performances of Grealish, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, have not been great.

Former Villa central defender McGrath has defended Grealish on Twitter and has said that the youngster is giving his all for the team.

Need for improvement

Grealish scored three goals and provided six assists in 22 Championship starts for Villa during the 2017-18 campaign, according to WhoScored.

So far this season, the 23-year-old has provided one assist in 10 league matches for the Villans, according to WhoScored.

While the attacker is certainly trying his best, it is clear that in terms of productivity and creativity, he needs to step up.
