Manchester City are closing in on the £100m signing of Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish.

A deal could be concluded in time for the England midfielder to play in the Community Shield against Leicester City on Saturday.

The move for the 25-year-old would make it a British record.

The fee for him would surpass the £89m Manchester United paid to re-sign France midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.

It is anticipated Grealish will have his medical at Manchester City on Thursday.

Grealish is set to make the move after returning to pre-season training with Aston Villa following Euro 2020.
