Aston Villa boss Smith: Grealish best I've coached

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith says Jack Grealish is the "best I've coached".

Villa make their Premier League return today against Tottenham.

Smith said: He is a top player, the best I have coached, and I really enjoy working with him.

He is an Aston Villa supporter and he is team captain while James Chester has not been in the team and has taken it on very maturely.

He has matured as a person and a player and I think he will get better and better playing in the Premier League.

The one thing he won't do is dwell on things and what might have been.

He has a new challenge now and that is making sure his performances are top notch and he is leading the players."
