Manchester City are closing in on the £100m signing of Aston Villa captain 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 which would surpass the £89m Manchester United paid to re-sign France midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.

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

The English Premier League kicks off next Saturday with Arsenal taking on Brentford at 7am.
