Always an in-demand name in the transfer market, Aston Villa’s talisman Jack Grealish has Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea chasing his signature this summer, according to reports from Football Insider.
The England international playmaker is currently with Gareth Southgate’s side at the European Championships where is backed to play a critical role for the under-fire Three Lions should they harbour ambitions of going further past the Last-16.
On the back of his hugely influential role for the Villians last season in the Premier League in which Grealish played his part with six goals and ten assists, the 25-year-old is sure to be a name that some of the biggest clubs in the land will keep an eye out for.
Aston Villa will seek a huge fee to sanction their skipper’s sale in the summer but with Chelsea expected to be financed to the most by their mega-rich owner Roman Abramovich, the Blues will be favourites to sign Grealish should the player choose to leave Villa Park.
With doubts over Hakim Ziyech staying at Stamford Bridge beyond this summer amid interest shown in him from Italians AC Milan, Tuchel will hope to make the most of the Moroccon’s departure to bring in a quality attacking talent and bolster his forward options.
