Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is refusing to rush a decision to join Manchester City.

The 25-year-old is said to be impressed by his boyhood club's summer transfer business after Emiliano Buendia arrived from Norwich City, and now Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey was linked.

On top of that, the lack of guaranteed game-time at the Etihad Stadium could be why Grealish is now reassessing his potential switch after being disappointed with his minutes for England at Euro 2020, as reporter Alex Crook explained on talkSPORT.

"City were very confident they would be able to get a deal done, £100m the fee," he said. "But I think he's been quietly impressed with the business they've been doing... It's not as clear-cut as it was a couple of weeks ago."
