Newcastle are interested in moving for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, with the 22-year-old likely to depart Villa Park due to their critical financial situation, according to Chronicle Live.

Would Grealish be a hit at St James' Park? Would he be a good signing for Rafa's team?

We discuss....

Ben Barkworth

Grealish is a promising young player and started to deliver on his talent last season. Whether he is ready for the Premier League is a different question altogether.

The price they are able to get him for is the main factor for how good this signing would be because £40 million is a figure that has been commonly touted, and that is way too much.

Alfie Burns

Newcastle would be a great place for the 22-year-old to play his football.

Grealish’s commitment to Villa can’t be questioned, but they’re going to have to sell him this summer.

Whether Newcastle pay what Villa value Grealish at is up for debate, but he would improve Rafa Benitez’s squad.

In front of a packed St James’ Park, Grealish could thrive.

Sign him up ASAP Rafa.

Jay Williams

Grealish is a serious talent and perhaps he needs to move away from the comforts of Birmingham and join a club like Newcastle.

The 22-year-old has a lot of raw talent and can develop into a top player at Premier League and international level so he is worth an investment now as a long-term project.

If he applies himself, Newcastle have a ready-made upgrade on their current attacking midfield options and someone who could get even better.

Chris Gallagher

Exactly what they need.

Grealish has that creativity and magic in the final third that Newcastle sometimes lack and would be a big addition for them.

Working with a manager like Rafa Benitez would also greatly improve Grealish's game and Villa need the money so this could appeal to all parties.
