Kevin Phillips has exclusively told Football FanCast that he thinks Jack Grealish will leave Aston Villa this summer.

Having scored the crucial goal at West Ham on the final day of last season which kept Villa in the Premier League, Grealish has continued his outstanding form this term to put Dean Smith's team on the cusp of the European places.

Grealish has contributed to 18 goals Premier League - with his brilliant performances not only making him a strong favourite to be named in Gareth Southgate's squad for the European Championships, but he's attracting attention from Manchester City, who've been heavily linked with the attacking midfielder.

Villa's captain is currently out injured having missed their last five games with a leg problem, and Phillips, who played for the Villa Park outfit himself, thinks that his former side are resigned to losing the England star this summer.

Phillips told Football FanCast: "I actually see him wanting to stay because I live in the area, and I know people that know him - he absolutely loves Aston Villa, a bit like Stevie G at Liverpool.

"He's Villa through and through, but from a footballing perspective, I think someone will come in with a big bid, and the club will probably find it hard to turn down. Villa have done very well this season, but my suggestion would be 'go and win trophies'. And he's good enough to do that, he's shown that."

But exactly how confident is Phillips that Grealish will be tempted by a move away from the West Midlands?

He added: "If I had to put my head on the block, I think Grealish will probably move in the summer."
