Aston Villa's Jack Grealish to be offered new deal?

Aston Villa have reportedly opened talks with youngster Jack Grealish over a new contract with the club.

The 18-year-old was on loan at Notts County last season and helped the side avoid relegation in League One.

Several Championship clubs have reportedly shown an interest in taking him on loan for next term.

However, the winger was part of Paul Lambert's matchday squads during the final stages of last season, and the Birmingham Mail suggests that the Ireland Under-21 international will be offered a new deal to stay.

Aston Villa will begin their Premier League campaign with a visit to Stoke City on Saturday, August 16.
