Aston Villa are very hopeful that Jack Grealish will sign a new contract at the club this summer, as replayed by The Telegraph.

Enjoying an astounding 2020/21 season, the 25-year-old registered 19 goal contributions in 27 appearances, with seven goals and 12 assists [Transfermarkt].

In recent weeks, the England international has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City as he currently plies his trade at Euro 2020 [Caught Offside].

However, it now seems that the Midlanders may win the battle of wits to keep the Aston Villa captain on board for the foreseeable future after recent developments. Although no indication has been given of when a contract may potentially be offered, it would represent a clear stance of non-negotiation with regard to their prize assets [The Telegraph].

As you can imagine, loads of Aston Villa fans took to Twitter to revel in this update on Grealish
