JACK GREALISH has broken his silence over his future amid interest from Leicester City.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a fine end to the season for Championship promotion hopefuls Aston Villa.
And recent displays against Bristol City, Birmingham and Wolves caught the eye of the Premier League Foxes.
They were willing to fork out £20million to bring him to the King Power Stadium as replacement for Riyad Mahrez, who is expected to leave this summer.
But Villans boss Steve Bruce insists they will not entertain any offers less than £40m.
Now Grealish, who has endured a difficult few years since breaking onto the scene as a teenager, has broken his silence on the speculation.
And he is adamant that he could not be in a better environment to improve his game.
Speaking at Villa’s awards evening, he said: “I think I’ve had a bit of a stop-start career. I came onto the scene quite early and then I paused for a bit.
