Tottenham must move fast if they want to land Man City star Jack Grealish in the summer
Tottenham are actively looking to bring in a new attacker that could take Heung-Min Son’s place in the squad for the upcoming season. The South Korea international confirmed his departure from the Lilywhites earlier this week after signing a new deal with MLS outfit LAFC. And now, the North London club is looking to fill the attacking void left behind by the 32-year-old.
The time is running out in the transfer window so Spurs will have to act quick if they want to land a new left winger. Thomas Frank relies heavily on his wide players for goalscoring opportunities and chance creation. The Danish tactician likes his wide players to cut inside and overlap the striker to be in an ideal position to score a goal.
Tottenham must move fast if they want to land Man City star Jack Grealish in the summer.
Tottenham are still keeping tabs on Man City star Jack Grealish.
So, it is important for Daniel Levy to bring in a player that would suit the system and make an instant impact at N17. For now, Tottenham only have Mathys Tel at their disposal for the left-wing position. The Frenchman is still young and has a lot to learn before playing week in week out for the club. And it is clear to see that he will need to be an understudy to an experienced player for the new campaign.
Tottenham pondering over the signing of Man City star Jack Grealish
Tottenham have endured a ‘stop-start’ summer after signing two world-class players in a month’s time. However, the Lilywhites have also faced some embarrassment after missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White, despite triggering the Englishman’s release clause. Now, Daniel levy will look to make another statement signing before the window ends to give Thomas Frank the best chance to succeed next season.
It was reported earlier that Spurs were keeping tabs on Manchester City star Jack Grealish. The England international has not enjoyed a successful stint under Pep Guardiola. And it looks like the 29-year-old has run his race at the Etihad Stadium. The aforementioned report also stated that the Cityzens have slammed a £40m price tag for Grealish’s services.
Now, there is a new update on the transfer saga involving the ex-Villa star. As per Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham contacted Manchester City to be updated on Grealish’s situation at the club. However, the Lilywhites are not in ‘advanced negotiations’ with the Cityzens for his signature, and have no intentions of moving forward with the deal. Romano also stated that Everton are leading the pack for the 29-year-old’s services, and have offered the Englishman a lifeline by submitting a loan (with a buy option) deal.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for the prolific winger. But Spurs missing out on the 29-year-old might just be a blessing in disguise. Jack Grealish has looked a shadow of himself at Manchester City since his high-profile transfer in 2021. Not only that, but the ex-Villa star has also lost his place in the England setup after failing to make an impact in the Premier League.
So, it is better that the North London club strays away from a possible deal for Grealish. He is about to turn 30-years-old, and there is no potential to reach a higher ceiling. Also, the left winger is on high wages that might make Spurs think twice before breaking the wage structure to land him.
