# “What a brilliant player” – Grealish lauded by Mount ahead of Denmark clash

Mason Mount has lauded the quality of Jack Grealish as a player, as the pair work alongside one another on England duty.

Grealish is one of the most highly-rated players in the country at the moment, helped by his masterful performance for Aston Villa in their 7-2 hammering of Liverpool.

The 25-year-old could start for England against Denmark on Wednesday night, as he looks to continue growing his reputation.

Speaking to *[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12016/12103511/mason-mount-jack-grealish-and-i-connect-we-can-play-together-for-england)*, Chelsea midfielder Mount heaped praise on his international colleague:

> I love watching him \[Grealish\] play as well. He’s brilliant to be around. Obviously we all know what he can do, what a brilliant player he is.

> I get on very well with Jack. He’s a brilliant player and, yes, we always want to play together.

> We have such a strong group with loads of top, top players. You always want to play with the best and when you come away with England you’re doing that.

> It means so much to come away and play with the likes of Jack and the top, top players in the group.

### Read Aston Villa Verdict

I think keeping hold of Grealish was the most important piece of business Villa did all summer. He is [the undisputed talisman](https://www.premierleague.com/news/1586687) at Villa Park, with his wonderful technical ability catching the eye on an almost weekly basis.

There is also an old-school feel about Grealish as a footballer which almost gives him an extra charm, gliding across the pitch with his socks rolled down and possessing a maverick-type character, with his [off-field issues](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/18/aston-villa-jack-grealish-charged-with-two-offences-relating-to-accident) not going unnoticed.

It is Grealish’s brilliance as a footballer that shines through most, though, and he should be a major part of Gareth Southgate’s plans heading into the Euros next summer.

England’s team needs to be built around such quality and the hope is that a star showing against Denmark makes him even more integral moving forward.

At long last, not only Villa supporters are raving about him.
