Aston Villa expect Grealish to choose England over Ireland

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood believes youngster Jack Grealish will pledge his football allegiance to England.

The 19-year old winger is eligible to represent both the Three Lions and the Republic of Ireland but Sherwood is confident he will choose his country of birth once he is established at club level.

"I think he might play for England but he's got to play for Villa first," said Sherwood.

Solihull-born Grealish has played for Ireland at U21 level but is being monitored by England according to reports.
