Jack Grealish has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the ongoing summer transfer window
Last season gave us a dream run in European competition, but a disastrous run in the Premier League. Beating Manchester United in the Europa League final and securing a place in the Champions League 2025/26 was nothing short of a fairytale for the club and fans like us. Under Ange Postecoglou, the team found the confidence we had been looking for. This summer, changes accelerated, and Thomas Frank took over as the new manager.
With his arrival, the club have strengthened the attack. Mohammed Kudus has arrived at the club, Mathys Tel has been signed permanently, and Joao Palhinha has also been added to the midfield. However Son Heung-min’s move to LAFC was a big emotional blow for the fans, and his absence will definitely be felt.
There is a strange void within the team. Kudus and Tel have brought freshness to the attack, but an experienced, Premier League-tested face is still missing. Maddison’s injury has made the situation even worse. Because of this situation, the club want to add another high-profile attacker to the team as soon as possible. Many names have been coming up in the headlines, but an old dream is resurfacing yet again.
Eye on Jack Grealish
According to Tottenham Hotspur News, Spurs are once again interested in Jack Grealish. Attempts to sign him during his Aston Villa days failed, but now his future at Manchester City is bleak. He has been out of Pep Guardiola’s plans since last season. It is reported that Manchester City want a loan fee of £12m in any deal, which could put off many clubs. Grealish’s salary is said to be £300,000 per week, and if Spurs sign the 29-year-old versatile attacker, the loan fee combined with full salary would cost a total of £27m, as per the same report from THN.
It’s a big amount, but the club have extra funds and salary space after Son’s departure. So the question is, is Grealish the player who can fill this void left by the talismanic South Korean? The Englishman’s creativity could be a trump card for the team in the event of Maddison’s injury, which has surfaced.
The right move, in our opinion
Grealish has the experience and game-reading ability to provide an edge and depth to our attack. With Son’s departure, the lack of a natural playmaker on the left wing is evident. Make no mistake, Kudus and Tel are excellent, but Grealish’s Premier League experience puts him on a whole different level. His dribbling skills, ability to break tight defences and his ability to make the difference in big stages could be the key to success for Tottenham next season.
The potential departure of Dejan Kulusevski makes this move even more urgent. If he leaves, Grealish could prove to be not just a replacement but an upgrade. £27m seems high, but such investments are necessary to succeed in the Champions League. Right now, we have the opportunity to bring in a player who not only helps in scoring but also maintains the attacking balance of the team. In our opinion, this transfer should be given the green light, but obviously, the loan fee should be negotiated, and obviously, Spurs will get the edge as Grealish will force a transfer away from the Etihad Stadium.
