Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood: 'Jack Grealish worth over £60m'

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has stated that Jack Grealish is worth more than £60m in the current transfer market.

The 20-year-old, who Sherwood called on to improve his work rate this week, has made three Premier League appearances for the Villans this season ahead of their clash with Liverpool on Saturday.

"I wouldn't want to sell Jack Grealish for £60m today. I know what he could possibly be. What looks expensive this year might not be expensive next year. That Liverpool game was huge with a lot of expectancy and pressure, it didn't faze him, he grew more," Sherwood is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

"He is certainly a type of player we have seen at the very top level for the likes of Liverpool and in the past for Aston Villa, we have to recognise that.

"He's not a shop window job, he's our player, and we couldn't put a price on him. I certainly wouldn't."

Grealish, who scored his first Premier League goal in Villa's 3-2 loss to Leicester City, has yet to make a decision on his international future as both England and the Republic of Ireland vie for his services.
