Ezri Konsa adamant Aston Villa much more than Grealish's team

Ezri Konsa insists Aston Villa are a lot more than Jack Grealish.

The England playmaker left Villa for Manchester City recently in a deal worth a British record £100m.

"It is not nice hearing people say you are a one-man team," Konsa told the Express & Star.

"Obviously, Jack was a massive player for us. Everyone knows that.

"He's the best I have played with in my career, I think he deserves everything which has come his way and I hope he does really well (at City). But I feel now we can prove people wrong. As a team we have loads of great players and everyone works their socks off. If that's not being recognised, it is not a nice thing to see or hear.

"Those people saying we were a one-man team, now is the time to show them we weren't. With the additions we have made this summer, I think we'll do that. I think we're going to have a really good season."
