Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary has reportedly offered free flights to Aston Villa youngster Jack Grealish in a bid to persuade the player to choose the Republic of Ireland for his international future.
The 19-year-old has the choice to play for Ireland or England, but has opted to delay his decision in order to focus on his club football at Villa.
According to the Irish Daily Star, O'Leary's airline has got involved by telling the teenager's family that free flights will be available to the winger should he pick Ireland.
Grealish, who has been linked to both Chelsea and Manchester United, currently plays for Ireland's Under-21 side, but the English Football Association has reportedly approached the winger about changing his allegiance.
