Premier League: Three players we will see next season despite their respective clubs’ outcome
By Varun Aithal
3. Jack Grealish – Aston Villa
The attacking midfielder has performed brilliantly for one of the promoted sides who is on the verge of getting relegated just after a season. His consistency had almost earned a Euro 2020 spot in Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions until the tournament got postponed by a year.
Wearing the captain’s armband throughout the season for his side, Jack Grealish is the most fouled player in the Premier League this season. This stat speaks up about his gameplay. The midfielder likes to keep the ball at his feet and dictate the pace of the game. He has seven goals and six assists in 33 appearances for the Villians.

He is valued at £80 million by Aston Villa but the price will be reduced if the team fails to avoid relegation. However, it is worth every penny for a player who averages close to 32 passes per game. He also has 2.6 key passes per game. Versatility is a great boon for both the player and the team.
Grealish is a versatile midfielder who can offer more for any side with his ability to play on the flanks too. With Manchester United looking for a decent addition in the midfield to ease the pressure on Bruno Fernandes, Jack Grealish is the perfect player.
Manchester City is also looking to snap up the player after Pep Guardiola deemed the player one of the best in the Premier League this season. They are in search of a David Silva and Leroy Sane replacement. It will be surprising if he remains at Aston Villa at the start of next season.
