Villa ace Agbonlahor: Grealish reminds me of myself

Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor is happy seeing Jack Grealish make his mark in the first team.

Grealish has followed Agbonlahor from the youth team to the first team at Villa Park and the senior forward has been impressed by the new kid on the block.

He told the Birmingham Mail: "Jack reminds me of myself, definitely. He reminds me of myself when I was his age," Agbonlahor told Villa's official website.

"He's a fan favourite. The fans want to see young talent - especially from the area - coming through.

"He's the one that everyone is talking about. He deserves it because he's a quality player.

"I don't think anyone has seen anything of what he can do at the moment. But they will do because he's a great young player.

"He's been taking players on. He can dribble with the ball and go past players like they're not there. He's got a lot of talent."
