David Moyes suggested that Jack Grealish is the best player in the Premier League right now, when speaking to West Ham United’s official website.

The Hammers travel to Villa Park to take on the Villans tomorrow night.
David Moyes and Dean Smith have both worked wonders with their teams this season.
And tomorrow night’s game should be a cracker.
David Moyes makes huge Jack Grealish claim
If West Ham are to have any chance of beating Aston Villa, we need to be right on our game. And perhaps most importantly, Moyes’s men need to keep Jack Grealish quiet.
The Scot spoke to reporters during his pre-match conference today and suggested that the 25-year-old Villa star is the best player in the Premier League at the moment, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“Grealish is a really improved player. From my point of view, he’s probably the best player in Premier League at this moment in time. He’s shown what he can do and really done such a big job for Aston Villa so, for me, he’s playing as well as any player in the Premier League.”
That really is a big claim from Moyes.
It could be argued that he is spot on, however.
Grealish has been quite simply sensational this season.
The boyhood Villa fan has racked up six goals and 11 assists in 19 Premier League games for Dean Smith’s sign this season (Transfermarkt).
Grealish has always been a great player, but he seems to have reached an entirely new level this term.
The 25-year-old must continue this fine form over the purse of two or three seasons, however, if he is to be called world-class.
Let’s just hope that Declan Rice and the boys can keep him quiet tomorrow night!
