Steve Bruce thinks Aston Villa will find it difficult to keep hold of Jack Grealish (Image: GETTY)
We will do our best to keep hold of him, but it is going to be difficult
Steve Bruce
“We understand the human side. He will want to play in the Premier League, Europe, Champions League.
“Nobody wants him to leave, but there is a human element to it too.
“The owners have made it pretty clear that they don't want to sell him and that still stands.
“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.”
