Speaking to talkSPORT, Steve Bruce has lavished praise on Jack Grealish and made a bold prediction about his future.

The young midfielder has really reminded us what sort of talent he has got in his boots this season with a campaign full of stellar moments.

Indeed, after recovering from a horror kidney injury he has become one of the club's key men in their race for promotion.

He'll be looking to get his side into the Premier League this weekend via the play-off final, then, but even if they do not get promoted, Bruce can see him heading to the top flight once again at some point.

The manager said:

“I honestly believe that Grealish could play for any team.

“Since Christmas he’s been nothing short of terrific for us. I’m so delighted that we’re talking about his football now rather than the other stuff."

Certainly, Grealish has been very good this season.

He rides challenges better than most and you can see why he's so highly rated when he puts in big performances.

It's also been a redemptive year for him, and he'll be looking to end it on a serious high.

The Verdict

Grealish has been very good this season.

He's led by example and often been the Man of the Match for Villa.

He'll be looking to put on a show this weekend, too, as he and his take on a tough Fulham team.
