Furious Jack Grealish fires back at an Aston Villa reporter over accusations he is 'smug', 'arrogant' and 'lacks class' for moving from his 'boyhood club' to Man City in a £100m move after having release clause included in his contract

Jack Grealish has furiously hit out at an article accusing him of being 'arrogant', 'smug' and having little class when speaking about his move to Manchester City to Aston Villa in a recent interview.

Grealish departed his boyhood club for a sensational, record-breaking £100million fee this summer, with City having triggered the release clause that was included in his final contract at Villa.

Now on international duty with England, the playmaker opened up on the reasons why the clause was inserted, but his comments irked one Midlands-based reporter, who published an article around his thoughts.
