Grealish is a lot 'better' than Arsenal, says Agbonlahor

Jack Grealish would be aiming to join teams that are way better than Arsenal and nothing less, says ex-Villa man Gabriel Agbonlahor.

Gabby Agbonlahor has responded to Piers Morgan’s plea for Arsenal to go all out for Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish in the January transfer window. However, he insists the England playmaker is too good for the Gunners.

Arsenal are struggling in the Premier League and their position at 14th place says it all.

A recurring theme for the Gunners has been lack of chances created; something a certain Jack Grealish can be the answer to.

Only Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son have more Premier League goal involvements than Jack Grealish this season 🎯

Without doubt on of the best players in the league! 👏 #avfc pic.twitter.com/PzmbrYVARs

Morgan took to social media on Tuesday to suggest his beloved side should offer Villa £100m for Grealish or instead a £50m bid plus Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi and Granit Xhaka in a swap deal.

Arsenal should break the bank for @JackGrealish in January.
If we don't get some creative flair into the team, we're going nowhere – and he's the most creative player in the country. Offer Villa £100m for him or £50m + Ozil, Mustafi & Xhaka.

“Arsenal should break the bank for Jack Grealish in January,” he tweeted.

“If we don’t get some creative flair into the team, we’re going nowhere – and he’s the most creative player in the country.”

“Offer Villa £100m for him or £50m + Ozil, Mustafi & Xhaka. I’m deadly serious.”

In an interview with talkSPORT, ex-Villa man Agbonlahor has laughed off Morgan’s plea and says that statement will only turn Grealish further away from the Gunners.

“I think first of all Piers Morgan saying that is going to put off Jack off [going to Arsenal] anyway as during the lockdown he hammered him in the media, so Piers Morgan isn’t helping them get him anyway” he said.

“I don’t think he’s a big fan of Piers!”

“Look where Arsenal are… I’m sure if he ever wants to leave Aston Villa he’ll be looking at a lot better teams than Arsenal.”

“This season Aston Villa have tied him down, and will there be bids in the summer? I’m sure there will be.”

“But Aston Villa have rich owners who don’t really need the money from a sale of Jack Grealish. At the moment would they want to sell their best player, who for me all their goals and assists are coming from? I just don’t see it happening.”

Grealish has enjoyed a fine season for Villa so far and it’s only a matter of time before one of the Premier League’s top sides come for his signature.
