Look closely at Jack Grealish’s equalizer for Aston Villa on Saturday and you’ll find an American making a run to create space.
That’s Indiana Vassilev, who made his Premier League debut in the 1-1 draw with Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.
Vassilev, who turns 19 next month, was credited with seven touches in 23 minutes, connecting on 3-of-4 passes.
