The north London club are reportedly in talks with Villa for the 22-year-old playmaker as Villa seek to avert another cash crisis.

The claret and blues face another tax bill next week. Villa boss Steve Bruce admitted Grealish must be sold to stave off financial catastrophe following the failure to secure Premier League football.

The midfielder has featured for Villa through pre-season so far, taking to the pitch in the 1-1 draw with Kidderminster and 4-1 win over Walsall.

Villa reportedly value the star between £30-£40m following a terrific 2017/18 campaign at B6.
