Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore says Jack Grealish can push for the England squad.

Grealish produced his best performance of the season on Saturday as Aston Villa beat Brighton 2-1, scoring his first home Premier League goal.

“No player was more influential for his team over the weekend than Aston Villa's Jack Grealish," Collymore told The Mirror.

“I sent him a message after the last England games saying there's nothing for him to fear in terms of his rivals for the national team.

“James Maddison is probably ahead of him in the queue and Mason Mount as well.

“But if you put Grealish in any environment at club level or for his country he would make things happen for those ahead of him, and I'd have him in the next Three Lions squad all day long."
