Reported Aston Villa transfer target Tammy Abraham has sent his well wishes to Jack Grealish after he completed a move to Manchester City yesterday.

Grealish goes

Grealish broke the heart of most Villa supporters when he departed for City in a transfer which makes him the ninth most expensive player of all time.

Grealish has signed a six year deal at City, and posted messages on social media website Instagram after the deal went through yesterday.

And Abraham was one of a number of players to pass his message of congratulations on to the playmaker.

Villa now may actually have the money to buy Abraham, who is valued at £35 million (The Sun), although whether they will push for a move seems questionable.

The Daily Mail have reported how he is very much on Dean Smith’s side’s radar, and that the claret and blues are set to push for him now Grealish is gone.

However, with Danny Ings coming in at Villa, it now seems unlikely that Smith will look to bring in yet another front man.

Villa reaction

Many other of Villa’s current players also responded to Grealish leaving them.

And most simply wished the creator well on his move to the Etihad Stadium.
