Villa rejected Tottenham's £25million bid for Grealish in the summer of 2018 and instead helped Villa return to the top flight after signing a five-year contract with the club.

Former Villa and England striker Collymore believes the decision allowed Grealish to become a 'serious player' that is now ready to join any 'elite club'.
