West Ham United are reportedly keen on Aston Vila ace Jack Grealish.
Aston Villa have been in blistering form of late, winning four games in a row to put themselves in contention for a play-off place – and Jack Grealish has been key to that.
Villa have won every game since their talismanic playmaker returned from a shin injury, which kept him on the sidelines for almost three months.
The 23-year-old is once again shining in a Villa shirt, proving that he is too good for the Championship thanks to his silky dribbling and creativity.
Whether Villa sneak into the top flight or not, it seems inevitable that Grealish will be playing Premier League football next season, and in truth, he needs to be in order to push for the England national team.
The Mirror reported earlier this week that Tottenham are again in the race for Grealish having come close to signing him last summer, but they will allegedly face shock competition.
It’s claimed that West Ham will also be in the hunt for Grealish, despite already having two star playmakers at the club in Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson.
Spurs may be more willing to pay the huge asking price for Grealish having narrowly missed out in 2018, and some West Ham fans think he’ll be heading to Spurs regardless of West Ham’s interest.
Others feel that he isn’t needed at West Ham because of Lanzini and Anderson and think he’s overrated, but others are urging the club to beat Spurs and land Grealish instead of Newcastle’s Jonjo Shelvey this summer.
