ASTON VILLA captain Jack Grealish has been told to “delete” his hair by football fans as he sported a new trim for the return of the Premier League.

The top-flight season had been suspended as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
And Grealish, who got himself into a spot of bother by breaking lockdown rules, has a new look to show off.
It appeared the 24-year-old has his hair plaited from the middle.
But the opinion on social media of the cut was divided.
Gareth Jones tweeted: “I’ve seen some tragic things in my time and Grealish’s hair is up there with the worst.”
Another cruelly wrote: “Right I’m not one to judge a person’s haircut, but bloody hell Jack Grealish’s hair man please delete it.”
Hollie Byrne asked: “What is going on with Grealish’s hair?”, while another added that the new style was “ridiculous”.
But it was met with favour by others.
Felicity Avery posted on Twitter: “I want to know who french plaited Jack Grealish’s hair so well.”
And another football fan posted that “anyone who isn’t jealous of Grealish’s hair is a liar”.
Villa held talks with Grealish following the lockdown incident in which his Range Rover crashed into two parked cars and pictures appeared online of him at the scene wearing slippers.
It came less than a day after Grealish had appealed for people to stay at home.
Grealish issued an apology on video saying he was ‘deeply embarrassed’ – but he was branded a ‘Covidiot’ at the time.
He also raffled off his Villa shirt from last season’s win over Birmingham to raise over £50,000 for the NHS.
