George Boateng has urged Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish to move to Middlesbrough.
Boateng played for both clubs.
He told talkSPORT: “Jack has made a few mistakes that have proved to be costly for his image as well as his game.
“But I have played for both clubs and I have been in both locations and, for a player like Jack it would be a fantastic move in terms of his personal lifestyle to be at Middlesbrough because there's not a lot to do there.
“You can't go wrong – it's no Las Vegas!
“For Jack Grealish it would be a really good environment to play for a club like Middlesbrough because the area would suit him.
“I don't want to criticise the area because Boro fans know I love the area, but everyone knows I don't hold back when I'm talking about something I love."
