'Grealish reminds me of Iniesta in his prime' - Agbonlahor lavishes praise on Aston Villa star

Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor has heaped some major praise on the club's current star Jack Grealish, saying the midfielder's ability reminds him of Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta.

Grealish signed a new five-year Aston Villa deal on Tuesday, ending speculation linking him with a move to Manchester United, among other clubs.

The 25-year-old admitted it wasn't an easy decision to commit his future to the club, though, saying that it was 50-50 whether he'd stay or go.
