A number of Arsenal fans have praised Jack Grealish’s display in the Gunners’ defeat on Tuesday night and urged the Emirates Stadium side to consider moving for him in the summer.

Mikel Arteta’s charges travelled to Aston Villa on Tuesday, buoyed by their victories over Manchester City in the FA Cup and Liverpool in the Premier League.

Villa’s opener and eventual winner came in the 27th minute, Trezeguet rifling a first-time finish beyond Emiliano Martinez following a set-piece.
