Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce wants star midfielder Jack Grealish to focus on getting the club back into the Premier League after his proposed move to Tottenham failed to materialise.
Grealish was an instrumental part of the Villa side that just missed out on promotion last season, ultimately losing 1-0 in the play-off final to Fulham. The 22-year-old produced consistently high-quality performances in the middle of the park and impressed supporters with his composure on the ball and exceptional passing range.
A product of Villa’s youth system, Grealish had been linked with a move away from the club this summer, with Spurs bidding £25m for his services, but club owner Nassef Sawiris was quick to turn down the offer and brand the player as not for sale.
