However, for a mid-table team like Aston Villa, the case is usually different as it is more difficult to keep a star player at such clubs when they already have the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City lurking around trying to prize the player away from his club. That was the case for the Villans this summer as they lost their best player and captain Jack Grealish to last season’s English Premier League title winners Manchester City following a £100 million bid from the Cityzens which was eventually accepted.
