‘Jack Grealish has Tottenham written all over him’, journalist has been told
Jack Grealish is primed to leave Manchester City this summer, with Tottenham one of several possible destinations.
The winger’s City future was effectively sealed on the final day of the Premier League season after Pep Guardiola omitted him from the matchday squad.
As a result, the rumour mill has been going into overdrive as the 29-year-old seeks regular first-team football.
It seems that Spurs would provide the perfect tonic after a remark was made about his next destination.
Tottenham claim made on Grealish future
Grealish is sure to have several options in the summer, but is likely to remain in the Premier League.
For a player of his quality, he cannot afford to simply sit on the bench, and right now, that would be an improvement on his current predicament.
The 29-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium and must move to save his career.
| Jack Grealish’s 2024/25 Premier League statistics | Total |
| Appearances (starts) | 20 (7) |
| Goals | 1 |
| Expected goals (xG) | 1.13 |
| Assists | 1 |
| Touches | 28.5 |
| Accurate passes | 18.8 (91%) |
Grealish has several admirers, with Tottenham, Everton, and Manchester United all linked with a move.
Given that Spurs are the only of those teams that will play European football next season, they present an appealing opportunity.
Indeed, the Englishman’s future was being discussed live on talkSPORT (27 May, 02:54 pm) between Paul Hawksbee and Perry Groves.
Hawksbee said: “So where’s a good fit? I was talking to Andy (Goldstein), and Andy said he’s got Tottenham written all over him.”
Tottenham should pursue Grealish deal
While the North London side already possess quality midfielders, Grealish would add something different to Tottenham.
Although the 29-year-old has mostly featured on the wing for Guardiola, a move into a number 10 position would reignite his career.
Grealish’s intricate passing ability in tight spaces would benefit Spurs, and we all know how well he can draw fouls.
With that in mind, the former Aston Villa man can pave Postecoglou with a route to goal.
Yes, some supporters will question whether his best years are behind him, but he has shown enough in his career to suggest there is still something there.
Furthermore, it appears that a loan move would be the most likely exit route for the Englishman, which would suit Tottenham.
As the Lilywhites prepare for the Champions League, they need quality and experience, which Grealish has in spades.
