Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has implored club youngster Jack Grealish to concentrate on his club career before deciding on his national allegiances.
The 19-year old impressed with his display against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final win on Sunday which has prompted debate regarding who he should choose England - his country of birth - or Republic of Ireland - the home nation of his father.
"It's up to Jack where he wants to go," Sherwood told talkSPORT's Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show. "It's purely up to him.
"What I've got to do is make sure he's got that decision to make. He must be doing something right for Aston Villa if he's got those options. That's my priority.
"Then it's up to jack to decide where he wants to go. I had the same situation with Nabil Bentaleb, who could have played for France but decided to pick Algeria.
"I did have a chat with him and he asked me what to do. I just said, 'you've got to go with your heart. Do you think you're French or Algerian?'
"That's the decision he had to make and now Jack has got to make that decision. He has to play a few more times for Aston Villa before he needs to make that decision."
