Grealish is mentioned as Zinedine Zidane's favorite player to replace Luka Modric, and the Real Madrid coach has ordered his scouts to keep an eye on the English national team player, according to the media TeamTalk.

The Aston Villa star has performed strongly for the club so far this season, and with four goals and six assists in the preliminary seven matches, he has thus captured the royal club's interest. Most recently, the offensive midfielder has finally also caught the eye of national coach Gareth Southgate.

He was England's best player in the 0-2 defeat to Belgium in the most recent international. Whether he then has the potential to replace Luka Modric, who has rounded the age of 35 and has one year left on his contract in Spain, the future must show.

The Villa star is expected to get his third international tomorrow tomorrow when he is expected to start inside England's match against Iceland.
