Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa is experiencing a new level of success. The Villans are back in European play and have been moving up the table since the Spaniard’s hiring.
When the former Villarreal manager took over from Steven Gerrard in October 2022, Villa were sat in 16th position in the Premier League table with no direction and variable form. However, he quickly turned around the team’s form to see his team finish 7th last season.
Villans are well-positioned to advance beyond their seventh-place result in 2022–23 thanks to a successful transfer market summer. While Emery is mostly responsible for the club’s recent advancement, there is another person who made it possible for everything to develop as it has done so far.
Many were concerned about the vacuum that the Bodymoor Heath product would leave in the squad when Villa sold Jack Grealish in 2021, but the £100 million profit that was made from the transfer turned out to be crucial to the club’s growth.
How much time did Jack Grealish spend at Aston Villa?
Grealish, a graduate of Villa’s burgeoning academy, fulfilled a childhood dream by playing for the Midlands team for 19 years of his playing career. He began playing at the age of six and left as the club’s captain.
Over the years, the Englishman made a total of 213 appearances for Villa, with 43 assists and 32 goals across all first team competitions.

At Villa Park, where in the 2016–17 season he made 31 league appearances and contributed to five goals and five assists, Grealish started to really establish himself in the Championship.
The academy graduate’s significance to the club where he grew up increased as he continued to be a key component of the team’s attacking threat. As a result, he was elected club captain in 2019 when Villa was promoted back to the Premier League.
The lifelong Villan left the nest in 2021 to join Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, finishing his playing career there with 96 Premier League matches.
At Aston Villa, how much was c worth?
While Grealish’s departure from Villa was traumatic, the team may be credited for the midfielder’s ascent to fame and progression through the ranks at Bodymoor Heath.
The young player’s expected transfer value (xTV), which was calculated by FootballTransfers in the summer of 2015 following a partial break into the first-team roster, was estimated to be around €4.4m (£4m).
