Aston Villa winger Jack Grealish has reportedly decided to turn his back on the Republic of Ireland and try to represent England at senior international level.
Grealish, who turns 20 today, has played for Ireland at youth level but could be about to switch allegiance and attempt to play for the country of his birth.
According to The Independent, Grealish will opt for England ahead of the next round of Euro 2016 qualifiers next month, when Martin O'Neill could call him up to the Ireland squad if he still hasn't made up his mind.
The winger played in just one of Villa's opening four Premier League fixtures last month due to injury and could also miss this weekend's match against Leicester City.
