da betsson： Aston Villa star Jack Grealish has developed into one of the Premier League’s hottest properties over the course of the 2019/20 season.
da pinup bet： The promise shown by the youngster who thrived at Wembley against Liverpool in 2015 looks to have been realised, and his performances have deservedly commanded esteemed praise throughout the campaign.
And it appears his development has been recognised by Transfermarkt.
The popular football website recently updated their valuations of players worldwide, including the 24-year-old playmaker.
Grealish moved from £31.5m to £34.2m, which represents an increase of £29.7m from September 2017 and £11.7m from June 2019.
The market move sees him rise into the world’s top 20 most valuable attacking midfielders, leaving him marginally adrift of Nabil Fekir and James Rodriguez, who are both worth £36m.
Naturally, it must be considered that Transfermarkt generally low-balls valuations and Grealish’s ranking is relative to the marketplace.
Villa’s golden boy is beginning to get the credit which his talent deserves, and with his market rise in mind Football FanCast take a look at three landmarks and themes which define his rise in valuation.
Premier League promotion
Grealish played an instrumental role for Villa in the 2018/19 season as Dean Smith led his side to the top-flight via the playoffs.
A significant injury setback suffered midway through the season limited him to just 31 starts in the Championship, but his return coincided with an upsurge in form that led them to the Premier League.
Villa had not won in five league games before Grealish returned against Derby County on March 2nd 2019 and that game proved to be the turning point in the club’s season.
Wearing the captain’s armband, Grealish inspired a 4-0 rout against the Rams at Villa Park in a game that signalled the beginning of a ten game winning streak.
If any period in his career could underline his importance at Villa then this was it.
Stunning Premier League form
The question on everyone’s lips at the start of the season: can Grealish make the step up in class?
The answer to the question: he’s even better at the elite level.
Bagging a total of seven goals and six assists in 26 Premier League appearances, the budding England international has been in scintillating form at times.
Only seven players in Europe have averaged more key passes per game this season, per Whoscored, and it’s fair to say that without his presence Villa would have long been cut adrift at the foot of the table.

Links with Manchester United
Manchester United were linked with a move for Grealish in January, per The Independent, but they eventually brought Bruno Fernandes to Old Trafford instead.
That the 24-year-old was even under consideration for a move to one of world football’s most prestigious clubs speaks volumes about his rise to prominence.
It seems inevitable that Grealish will move to one of Europe’s elite clubs should Villa drop back into the Championship – if and when the season reaches its conclusion, of course.
