Saunders says Grealish needs to ‘be more consistent’

Dean Saunders says Jack Grealish needs to “be more consistent” in order to realise his potential and rise to the top of English football. The 54-year-old, who made over 100 appearances as a striker for Aston Villa between 1992 and 1005, believes the English u21 international risks “fading away” if he can’t start producing good performances on a regular basis.

The Aston Villa midfielder was linked with a move to Tottenham in the summer and could be on their radar when the winter transfer window opens in January, but Grealish signing a long-term deal this season suggests they hold all the cards to his future.
