Aston Villa have announced that Jack Grealish has signed a new five-year contract with the club.
The new deal sees the 25-year-old commit his long-term future to his boyhood club, keeping him at Villa Park until 2025.
It should put an end to the speculation over Grealish joining Manchester United.
A deal never looked likely once United signed Donny van de Beek from Ajax.
The Dutch midfielder cost ยฃ35m, as per BBC Sport, but Grealish would have cost near double that (via Sky Sports).
Check out the announcement below, as well as a picture of Grealish after putting pen to paper:

Itโs great news for Villa and I doubt there were many clubs looking to splash the cash on Grealish this summer.
COVID-19 has definitely affected the transfer market financially as we expected it would.
Grealish will hope he can help Villa retain their Premier League status again this term.
