And the £20million move will get the seal of approval from Chelsea legend John Terry after Grealish impressed him at Villa Park last season.

A Villa source said: “The new owners do not need to sell players but are aware of Financial Fair Play next season, which is out of their hands.”

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has told Chelsea he will not sign a new deal — and will walk away next summer on a free unless they sell him in the next few days.

Part of the problem is they do not want to spend more than £20m on a new keeper, making England reject Joe Hart a shock option if Courtois goes.
