​Leicester contemplate bid for Aston Villa midfielder Grealish

Leicester City are about to join the race for Aston Villa's Jack Grealish, according to the Sky Sports.

The Foxes are expected to cash in £60m on Manchester City bound Riyad Mahrez and are planning to spend part of that sum on the young prospect.

Aston Villa are under pressure to sell their starlet after failing to win Premier League promotion and will ask a considerable fee of £40m for a player who has two more years on his contract.

Arsenal and Manchester United are monitoring the situation closely as the former England and Ireland U21 international caught the eye with impressive performances last term.
