Aston Villa 'preparing for bids from Manchester United and Manchester City in January' after the midfielder's fine start to the season 'with Liverpool also monitoring the England star'

Aston Villa are expecting January bids from Manchester United and Manchester City for star midfielder Jack Grealish, according to reports.

Grealish is currently enjoying the best season of his career - scoring five goals and laying on six assists already - to keep his boyhood side away from relegation danger, and now looks certain to earn a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad for Euro 2020 next summer.

The 25-year-old was heavily linked with a move away from Villa Park this summer, but ended up staying put and even committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract in September.
