Which Club is Best for Jack Grealish?

Jack Grealish has been in amazing form this season having scored seven goals and provided six assists for Aston Villa so far in the Premier League and it has received attention from many clubs further up the league.

One of the main teams targeting Grealish is Manchester United who could benefit a lot from the 24-year-old showing across the pitch. His attacking prowess would be very beneficial for Ole Gunnar Solskjær as he could link up with his star target man Marcus Rashford and Ed Woodward has reportedly prepared a £75m bid for the Villa player.

The Englishman has made 182 appearances for Villa and helped them secure promotion from the Championship to the Premier League last season and he will try to help them survive their first season in the top division.

Villa are potentially heading straight back into the second tier, however, and this will surely, at 24, spell the end for Grealish with his boyhood club if they go down.

Solskjær is building a young team at United with Rashford as the focal point. Just behind will be Daniel James, Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Antony Martial and the likes of Fred. There is a lot of talent already in the United midfield but the Englishman could fit in perfectly on the left wing to give them a little bit more firepower.

The Villa captain is 1/2 to join United.

There is still interest from other clubs to sign the star player from the Midlands club.

Tottenham Hotspur are another one reportedly interested in the 24-year-old, but he is a high 22/1 to do so. However, with United well equipped in the midfield region, joining the north London club is perhaps his best route for improvement, although, trophies continue to evade Spurs.

Jose Mourinho has witnessed Christian Eriksen leave already and the creativity within the Spurs has been noticeably low. The likes of Erik Lamela, Steven Bergwijn and Giovanni Lo Celso have all brought something to the table, but the Dane's role within the squad is yet to be replaced, and Grealish could be this man.

The Villa captain will no doubt get more game time at Spurs than he would at United, as it's doubtful he will surpass the likes of Fernandes and Pogba in Solskajer's squad. Grealish will also push himself closer to the England squad if he joins the ranks at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Dele Alli and James Maddison currently edge him in this regard with bigger clubs.

Spurs is perhaps the best place for the Englishman's development under an elite coach and with world class talent. And, if Grealish has one eye on the Three Lions, this is his perfect chance to get within the squad ahead of Euro 2021.

At one stage, Chelsea were the favourites to sign Grealish as Frank Lampard began to build his youthful, British empire at Stamford Bridge. However, this lastest just one transfer window as the club were banned from signing anybody at all.

Now that the Blues are allowed to splash the cash, Lampard has completely forgot about young English talents like Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham and signed Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner - so much for a change of scenery at the Bridge.

Chelsea are also 22/1 to sign Grealish and a move to west London remains a risky move for any player. The signing of Ziyech and the reports of a move for Kai Havertz show Lampard's desire to play local talent was merely because the club were unable to buy.

Therefore, should Grealish join Chelsea, first-team football isn't necessarily a guarantee and thus keeping him away from the England squad. With this said, trophies are always seemingly around the corner for the Blues and a domestic trophy is certainly more likely with Chelsea than up in north London.
