Aston Villa captain Grealish 'desperate' to make England's Euros squad

Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is desperate to make England's Euros squad.

With six goals and 12 assists for Villa in the Premier League already this season, he is making a serious case to be included in the Three Lions set-up in the summer.

Speaking to BT Sport, Grealish said: "At the start of this season I just wanted to get into better goal involvements than what I'd done last season which was 14 which I've beat already and we're only halfway. I've got 15 now.

"But as the season has gone on I obviously want to get just ten goals and ten assists. I want to surpass that in both of them.

"And then my main thing is I just want to get into the England team. I just think about it all the time.

"I know obviously I was in the last few squads but there's so many brilliant players in the Premier League at the moment. I say Premier League, obviously there's the likes of Jadon Sancho as well who are abroad.

"But there's just so many good English players at the moment in them attacking areas.

"I just think about it all the time. I'm just desperate to go to the Euros. I just pray that I can carry on performing, carry on impressing the manager and fingers crossed.

"When I got into the first [England] squad that was my only thing that I wanted to do [go to the Euros] and I'll literally do anything to go to the Euros."
