Redknapp: England would've won Euro 2020 if Aston Villa captain Grealish had started final

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes England could've won Euro 2020 with Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish a starter in the final against Italy.

Redknapp wrote for The Sun: "...personally I would have Jack Grealish in the England team every day of the week.

"I've said before that any other country in the world would build their side around him, and for me he could have been the star of the tournament.

"When he came on, he played a little backheel to Bukayo Saka that was genius.

"He just sees passes others don't and I love people who can do those little things to win a game.

"People will say, 'Ah yes, but we won games without him' - and fair enough.

"But who's to say we wouldn't have won even easier with Jack in the side?"
