Aston Villa forward Jack Grealish has taken to Twitter to express his reaction after he won Villa’s goal of the season award on Sunday.
The 22-year-old has been in superb form this season, scoring three goals and registering five assists in the Championship. He tweeted:

Grealish is one of the best young players in the Championship and has been attracting interest from Premier League clubs.
He has been linked with a move to Villa’s Midlands rivals Leicester City, and an offer of £20 million was mentioned.
Steve Bruce, the Villa manager, has laughed off the suggestion of selling the playmaker at such a price, saying the Foxes would need to at least double the amount for the player to even consider the offer.
“I saw Leicester for £20m. That money now gets you a Harry Maguire, who played 30 times for Hull,” Bruce said at his press conference on Friday.
“I am going to have it all summer, I would think. I am delighted Jack is getting recognition for what he is doing on the pitch.
“But I think I can safely say £20m would not buy his right leg at the moment, that is for sure.”
Villa fans took to Twitter to congratulate Grealish and they believe it will take a massive offer to lure him away from the Villa Park in the summer transfer window.
Congratulations young man, fantastic player with an England career beckoning too
