Dean Smith: 'Jack Grealish will cost a hell of a lot of money' | OneFootball

Jack Grealish is a man on a mission and will likely be playing Premier League football next season no matter what happens in the play-off final.

The 23-year-old has scored six goals and contributed eight assists this season and Dean Smith claims he’s Villa through and through.

“He loves Aston Villa and he’ll want nothing more than to get promoted with Aston Villa,” Smith said. “If we don’t go up he’ll cost someone a hell of a lot of money if they want to buy him.

“For me, he is committed to Aston Villa and we’ve not even spoken about it otherwise.

“Jack has been normal throughout (the season). It is not about one person or pressure, it’s about the team. If players perform as a team you have more chance.

“Yes, Jack Grealish has got that little bit of brilliance but so have the others. Talking to Jack, he knows that.

“He has relished being the captain of Aston Villa and is looking forward to the game and hopefully getting that win.”

Aston Villa will face Derby County in the play-off final on Monday.
