Leicester plan bid for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish

Leicester City are eyeing Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish.

The Mirror says Grealish is a £20million transfer target for Leicester who will move for the starlet if Aston Villa fail to go up.

The 22-year-old has re-ignited his reputation in 2018 as the driving force behind Villa securing a Championship play-off spot.

His midfield displays have alerted 2016 Premier League champions City, who are scouting him.

Foxes boss Claude Puel, who previously nurtured Eden Hazard at Lille, is known for developing young talent.

Now Foxes' scouts have identified Grealish as an exciting No.10 with the potential to play behind frontman Jamie Vardy.
