Jack Grealish will resist Chelsea, Man City interest to ink Villa deal

Aston Villa are close to securing Jack Grealish to a new deal.

The Telegraph says Grealish is poised to sign a new £20,000-a-week contract at Aston Villa after joining Stellar Group, the football agency which represents Gareth Bale and Ashley Cole.

Grealish, the highly-rated teenage winger, is expected to conclude talks in the next 48 hours over a four-year deal that will land him a significant pay increase and kill off interest from clubs including Chelsea and Manchester City.

Chelsea had identified him as a potential target and were encouraged by his contract situation, with his current £2,000-a-week deal expiring at the end of this season.
