For me he is committed to Aston Villa and weve not even spoken about it otherwise.We all know the financial turmoil the club was in last season and at the beginning of this season. “But weve got new owners who have got big ambitions, not just for the first-team but for the academy as well.The restrictions that come with the EFL make it tougher but if youre in the Premier League the potential for this club is great.Grealish, who has scored six goals and registered seven assists this term, signed a new five-year contract with Villa last September.
