Man City star Jack Grealish has decided to snub Tottenham and join Everton instead in the summer
Tottenham are looking to bolster the wide positions before the new Premier League season commences next week. Thomas Frank relies heavily on his wingers to create scoring opportunities, as well as, get into positions to score crucial goals themselves. So, it is necessary for Daniel Levy to bring in a left-winger that could elevate the quality of the attack and add more depth to the squad.
The North London club has also suffered a setback after Heung-Min Son ended his ten-year stay at N17 earlier last week. The South Korea international decided to end his stint at Spurs on a high after captaining the Lilywhites to the Europa League trophy last season. Now that the 32-year-old has moved on to pastures new for the upcoming season, Tottenham have a massive hole to fill on the left-wing.
Spurs also have Mathys Tel in their ranks that could fill in on the left flank. And the Frenchman is keen to impress Thomas Frank in the upcoming season after enduring a ‘stop-start’ campaign last season. But Daniel Levy will still look to bring in a more experienced player that could help Tel develop his game even more.
Tottenham might miss out on Man City star Jack Grealish
Tottenham are hoping to add more depth to their attack by bringing in a more experienced player for next season. The Lilywhites are active in the transfer market, and Daniel Levy is waiting for the right opportunity to make a statement signing that would elevate the quality of the squad going forward.
It was reported earlier that Spurs were keeping tabs on Manchester City star Jack Grealish. The England international’s career at the Etihad Stadium is all but over, and a summer move has been on the cards for quite some time now. The aforementioned report also stated that the Cityzens slammed a £40m price tag for his services.
However, Tottenham have now received a massive setback in their efforts to land the 29-year-old. As per Fabrizio Romano (via X), Everton are all set to land Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City for the upcoming season. The journalist also shares that the Toffees have ‘advanced’ in talks with City for a possible loan deal, with the England international keen on a summer move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

This is a massive blow for the Lilywhites as they spent quite some time pursuing the ex-Aston Villa star. Now, Daniel Levy must shift his focus on other targets if the club aims to find a replacement for Heung-Min Son for next season. Missing out on Grealish might also be a blessing in disguise for Spurs as he was on high wages and the player has reached his peak.
