Foxes on prowl for Grealish

-

. LEICESTER City are pondering a £20 million move for Jack Grealish in the summer, if Villa fail to get promoted.

Grealish has had an outstandin­g season in the Championsh­ip and has raised plenty of eyebrows in the Premier League.

Should Villa fail in the play-offs, it is feasible there will be plenty of interest in his services.

Sources claim the 22-year-old sensation is being scouted by the 2016 Premier League champions, who have identified him as the perfect player to complement their attacking options alongside Jamie Vardy.

Meanwhile, the final game of Villa’s regular campaign will be played out in front of a sell-out crowd at The New Den.

Villa quickly sold their entire 2,067 allocation for the match at Millwall on Sunday, May 6 – and the home side have now followed suit.

That means the 46th game of the season will be played out in front of a capacity crowd of 20,146.

The Lions, unbeaten in 17 league matches, take on third-placed Fulham in their penultimat­e home match at The Den tomorrow night (Friday), which is also sold out.

Villa travel to Ipswich Town this weekend, then face Derby County on April 28 before heading to South London for a 12.30pm kick-off on the final day.

It will be their first league match at Millwall in nearly 30 years – since December 1989 – though they did play there in the FA Cup five years ago.
