Manchester City are at the head of the queue to sign Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish.

The England international is being consistently linked with a transfer to a bigger club.

Despite interest in Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho, Man United have been fairly frequently linked with an approach for the Villa captain Jack Grealish.

However, according to The Athletic via MEN, Manchester City have shown firm interest in the 24-year-old than their local rivals.

It is suggested that City boss Pep Guardiola is strongly considering a move for the Englishman before the end of the summer window.

Villans are said to be looking for a fee in excess of £50m for Grealish.
