Aston Villa will be looking to make it ten wins on the bounce when they take on Millwall in the Championship on Monday.

Liam Rosenior has been left in awe at Jack Grealish’s performances for Aston Villa as he credited him for putting his head down following speculation about a reported move to Tottenham last summer.

The Sky Sports pundit has claimed that Grealish is ‘dragging a huge club’ like Villa back to the Premier League as he also felt that he is one of the best players outside of England’s top-tier.

Recently, the Mirror claims that Spurs might re-ignite their interest for the highly-rated 23-year-old when the transfer window re-opens after a failure to secure his services last summer.

Speaking to EFL Championship Goals on Sky Sports Football (20/04/2019 at 8:30 pm), former promotion winner Rosenior believes Grealish has been an ‘absolute revelation’ this season.

“For sure [Grealish is one of the best players outside of the Premier League],” Rosenior told EFL Championship Goals. “As an attacking midfield player, him and Mason Mount. They’re so creative, they get goals, Jack’s been an absolute revelation this season.

“Credit to him because Tottenham came in for him and a lot of players would have really pushed the move. He didn’t really get his move, but he’s dragging a huge club back to where they should be which is in the Premier League.”

At the end of February, when Grealish was entering his third month on the sidelines, Villa had won only two of other 11 league matches without their star man.

But as soon as he returned to the field of play, they thumped Derby County 4-0 and he scored a sublime volley from outside of the area.

Since then, Dean Smith’s side have not looked back and they have won nine games on the bounce and they will be looking to make it ten on Monday afternoon when they host Millwall.

During that winning run, Grealish has assisted or scored against the likes of Derby, Birmingham, Middlesbrough, Rotherham and Bolton.
