Allardyce, speaking on Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, said of Grealish: “I think (his exploits are) going to create a massive interest across the European clubs because of the quality of play he shows on the ball, the calmness, the final pass and now the finish as well.
“It wouldn’t be beyond a clubs like Barcelona or Real Madrid to look at him, the only is question is could he handle it at a club of that size? And I would like to think he could, based on how he has stepped up in the Premier League for Villa.”
