Grealish's Wembley performance put him in the shop window

It was Fulham who were celebrating promotion to the Premier League at full-time but that doesn't mean there weren't any Villa players who impressed.

Grealish was their biggest threat throughout the match. In the first half, when Villa were on the back foot, he was their outlet, drawing foul after foul.

However, his performance significantly improved in the second 45 minutes as Villa too grew into the game.

Grealish was at the centre of their attempts to find that necessary equaliser and his creativity and attacking threat would not have gone unnoticed by watching clubs. 

Villa could be forced to sell their young superstar after failing to win promotion to England's top flight, missing out on £170million in the process.

It means Financial Fair Play relegations could come into play as Villa will need to balance their books given their continuing status in the Championship.

Grealish could be one of many players heading for the exit, including former Chelsea captain John Terry, whose £60,000-per-week wages would be unsustainable next season.
