Aston Villa transfer news: Steve Bruce is set to sign Hibernian midfielder John McGinn
The Villans kicked off their Championship season with a 3-1 win at Hull last night.
Tommy Elphick, Alan Hutton and Ahmed Elmohamady netted in the perfect start to the season.
Villa boss Steve Bruce was forced to answer questions about Jack Grealish’s future after the game as Tottenham and Chelsea eye the attacking midfielder.
Bruce told Sky Sports: "A top, top player. "He is a wonderful talent. We will do our best to keep hold of him, but it is going to be difficult.
"We understand the human side. He will want to play in the Premier League, Europe, Champions League.
"The owner has made it clear that he wants him to stay. To be fair to Jack, he has got on with it.

"But he is young and ambitious and wants to play in the Champions League and we understand that.
"We are all trying our best to hang on to him but, at the moment, there is no decision to be made as they are not at the figure where the owners are even blinking."
