Stan Collymore is a fan of Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.
Stan Collymore has suggested on social networking site Twitter that Aston Villa star Jack Grealish is not yet ready to step up to play a key role for England.
The former Villa and England international striker made the comments while following the UEFA Nations League Group A4 match between the Three Lions and Spain at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.
Collymore has identified what England are missing at the moment – a creative midfielder – but the 47-year-old does not think that Grealish – who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder – is the answer right now.
The former Liverpool striker, though, believes that 22-year-old Grealish is talented enough to make the step-up in the future.
Stats
Grealish scored three goals and provided six assists in 22 Championship starts for Villa last season, according to WhoScored.
So far this season, the youngster – who earns £20,000 per week as salary, according to The Sun – has provided one assist in six league matches for the Villans, according to WhoScored.
