Tim Sherwood says he would not be tempted to sell Aston Villa starlet Jack Grealish even if he was offered £60m for the youngster.
The 20-year-old, who is yet to decide whether to represent England or the Republic of Ireland at international level, has enjoyed an impressive start to the season.
Grealish broke into the first team at Villa Park during the last campaign and has flourished under Sherwood, with his manager now slapping a huge valuation on the young midfielder.
Asked how much his player is worth, Sherwood told the Daily Mirror: "I wouldn't want to sell Jack Grealish for £60m today, put it that way. I know what he could possibly be.
"What looks expensive this year might not be expensive next year. That's the way the game is going.
"He's a great player is Jack, but he's got to realise - I've been on at him every day - there is more to the game than just when you're in possession."

Grealish was a star performer in last season's FA Cup semi-final win over Liverpool and Sherwood thinks it was a significant part of the player's development.
"That Liverpool game was huge with a lot of expectancy and pressure, it didn't faze him, he grew more," the Villa manager said.
"He is certainly a type of player we have seen at the very top level for the likes of Liverpool and in the past for Aston Villa, we have to recognise that.
"He's not shop window job, he's our player, and we couldn't put a price on him. I certainly wouldn't."
