Aston Villa veteran Joe Cole is full of praise for teammate Jack Grealish.

Grealish committed to England this week ahead of the Republic of Ireland.

“Young Jack's a top player, he's a lovely mover of the ball," Cole told talkSPORT.

“Last season he was at that stage where he was way too good for under-21 football and then he was just finding his feet.

“This season he's had a few niggling injuries but has still been influential, he changed the game in the cup against Birmingham and scored a lovely goal against Leicester.

“I think if you look at him, it's not just his technical ability, physically there's a lot of quality. He's got a lovely shape and he can be as good as he wants to be. He works hard and he wants to learn."
