The midfielder had been a summer transfer target for Tottenham, but has now signed on the dotted line to extend his career at Villa Park.

The 23-year-old has been with his boyhood club since he was eight.

Villa's CEO Christian Purlow [told the club's website](https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/09/23/jack-grealish-signs-new-aston-villa-contract?ref=birminghameastside.co.uk): "

Securing the long-term future of Jack, a player we believe will play a pivotal role in leading Aston Villa back to where it belongs, is fantastic news for everybody associated with our football club. 

“He is a tremendous talent who has been with us since he was a child and naturally we are delighted that he has now committed the next five years of his career to Aston Villa.”
