Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor is confident Jack Grealish will stay.

Manchesyer United were extensively linked with England's new No.7 last summer, before he ultimately stayed with his boyhood team, signing a new contract.

In his second season back in the top-flight, the midfielder shone on a regular basis, scoring 6 goals and laying on another 12 for his teammates.

Ahead of Euro 2020, Grealish continues to be linked with a move away, with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City believed to be admirers, says the Mirror.

But Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: “Who can afford him? If Aston Villa were going to sell him they'd want over £100m.

“And do Man City need him? They've already got the likes of [Phil] Foden, [Kevin] De Bruyne and [Ilkay] Gundogan. They're looking for a striker as well, so are they going to spend £100m [on Grealish]?

“Man City and Man United are the only ones that would go for him in the Premier League, but with COVID are these teams going to want to pay £100m or £130m?

“I'm not too sure."
