Tottenham Hotspur could try to sign city of manchester star Jack Grealish this summer, according to former Spurs defender Alan Hutton.
The Lilywhites tried to buy the Englishman a few years ago during his stay in Aston Villa in the Championship. However, they ultimately chose not to move forward with the deal, so the move did not materialize.
But after winning promotion with the Villans, the 28-year-old flourished in his career in the English top flight, eventually earning him a big-money move to Manchester City.
Having moved to the Etihad Stadium in 2021, Grealish has enjoyed a stellar spell in recent years, winning the treble last season. But he has struggled to find regular first-team football this campaign.
According to the report of Soccer insider informationMan City plan to cash in on Grealish this summer to raise funds and add new faces ahead of next season.
Grealish to Tottenham
Now, speaking on the same website, Hutton, who is in close contact with his former club and also close to Grealish having played together at Aston Villa, has said that Tottenham could try to sign Grealish if the Citizens allow the Englishman. Go away. the club for a reasonable fee.
The former right-back further claims that Spurs could use Grealish as an attacking midfielder if they were to buy him and Hutton also says the 28-year-old possesses the qualities to improve every team in the world.
However, the former defender claims that, having spent around £100m to sign Grealish a few years ago, Manchester City are likely to demand a “substantial” fee to sell their star man. Tottenham will therefore have to spend a huge sum to attract the former Aston Villa star to the newly renovated White Hart Lane this summer.
Huton said:
“I think the number ten role is something Grealish could play at Tottenham. If Maddison is not available or fit, you need back-up and he could come in. But as far as I know, it all comes down to money. Man City paid £100m and I was at Villa when Daniel Levy wasn't willing to spend £20m to get them out of the Championship.
“He is 28 now, but they will still want a substantial fee. Grealish comes in and makes every team better when he is fit and playing at the highest level. I think for the moment he can be happy where he is.”
Grealish is a top-class player and it would be a huge coup for Tottenham if they were to acquire him. However, it remains to be seen whether the north London club will finally be able to secure his signature in the coming games. transfer window.
