Aston Villa are owned by the NSWE group, owned by Nassef Sawiris and Wed Edens, having previously been owned by Tony Xia. Grealish was not even an England international this time last year but his stunning rise was emphasised during Euro 2020 when he was one of the pin-up boys of the national team, supporters having been seduced by his mercurial talent, the smoothness of his touch and his explosive bursts – together with his self-assurance. When I first came to Villa I had my own personal dreams and ambitions like getting into the first team, scoring my first goal and scoring the winner in a derby. It wasn’t until we got relegated that I felt a greater sense of purpose.

Whether you’re remembering the World Cup when your favourite team won or want to invest in something collectable, our collection of signed international football memorabilia is sure to deliver.It is my club, my home and I am very happy here," Grealish said after agreeing the new contract on Tuesday. Grealish was a member of the victorious England Under-21s team at the 2016 Toulon Tournament. He made his debut for the senior team against Denmark in 2020. Grealish was a member of the England squad who reached the UEFA Euro 2020 Final at Wembley. After progressing through the Villa youth set-up, Grealish went on loan to Notts County, then in League One, in 2013 to gain senior experience.

Commenting on his new boot deal, 27-year-old Grealish said he was determined to win more trophies after earning a Premier League winners medal with City last season. What’s more, is that Grealish will now sit alongside world-renowned ballers Neymar and Antoine Griezmann as the biggest talent at PUMA, while Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has also been a PUMA ambassador for the past four years. Off the field, it will be beneficial to Man City. They need the rest of the football world to speak about them and admire them in addition to winning, and in Haaland and Grealish, they have the two biggest personalities they have ever had on their team. They have hardware, they have their sights set on winning the Champions League, and this is Manchester City spreading their wings in the direction of becoming a worldwide brand, which, similar to NBA and NFL teams, requires at least one superstar player. He spent three months out injured from mid-February to mid-May but his return just before the end of the campaign saw him selected in England manager Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2020. He made 36 Premier League appearances during 2019-20 and scored eight goals, including one in the 1-1 draw against West Ham United which secured Villa's top-flight survival on the final day of a season interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. It was a difficult few months because I have been an Aston Villa fan for my whole life but, when I spoke to the manager here and you see what type of players they have got here … in the end it was something I could not say no to.” Grealish said that the “main reason” he signed was the opportunity to win trophies but he added that playing alongside Kevin De Bruyne was another big factor. “It is going to be a dream come true to play alongside him. I have always said that apart from Ronaldo and Messi he is the best in the world.
