One-time Tottenham Hotspur target Jack Grealish shone for Aston Villa in their 2-0 win against Newcastle United on Monday night, and Spurs fans were quick to gush over his display on Twitter.
The 24-year-old has even come out and admitted that he was disappointed that a move to the north London outfit didn’t happen in 2018 when he was in the Championship, but things haven’t worked out too badly for him since.
He is now in the Premier League, captain of his boyhood club and signed a new five-year contract with the Midlands outfit just over a year ago.
The Englishman has certainly produced some impressive performances for Dean Smith’s men this term too, with two goals and four assists in 11 top flight fixtures.
According to WhoScored, he had five shots and provided six key passes against the Magpies on Monday, showing the quality he has in his locker.
It remains to be seen whether Jose Mourinho needs another attacking midfielder in his ranks anytime soon given the options he currently has, but Christian Eriksen’s future may well play some part in that decision.

Grealish’s showing didn’t go unnoticed by Tottenham supporters who waxed lyrical about the 24-year-old, with one suggesting “Jose would love his flair & arrogance”, and another labelling him as being “levels above Eriksen”.
