Jack Grealish in £100k-a-week Aston Villa deal?

Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish has reportedly received a new £100,000-a-week contract from the newly-promoted Premier League club.

The 23-year-old played a key role in Villa's promotion during the 2018-19 season and was made captain by manager Dean Smith.

Grealish made 31 appearances and scored six goals in the Championship as the club earned a place back in the Premier League for the first time since relegation in 2016.

The Mirror report that the club's return to England's top flight has triggered a clause in Grealish's deal to increase his salary.

The former England Under-21 international put pen to paper on a five-year deal last September believed to be worth £40,000 a week.
