Going through the daily transfer gossip one name that keeps popping up is Aston Villa’s, Jack Grealish.
The 24-year-old nearly became a Tottenham player when Villa was stuck in the championship but obviously tight-fisted Daniel Levy just could not get the deal over the line. That lack of judgement by the chairman is starting to look more foolish every passing week.
Manchester United are the club seen as the frontrunners, however, they are not the only club touted as a possible destination for the playmaker.
Aston Villa could be relegated this season and if they are then it is a high probability that the Villians will have little choice but to cash in on their most valuable asset.
If the opportunity arises that Tottenham can make a move for Grealish then they surely must, he is almost single handily keeping Villa alive, he is a class act and would most likely be available at an affordable price simply because transfers will be a buyers market due to the financial impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Obviously, Man Utd will have more money to spend but even they will only go so far under the current climate and with a good seven or more years ahead of him at the top level, Grealish would be an excellent acquisition and would be worth paying top dollar for.
Signing the likes of Willian or Ryan Fraser may be the cheap alternative but with that standard of player, you are going to confine yourself to mediocrity, signing Grealish provides an opportunity to step up a grade.
Daniel Levy has to decide if he wants to keep Tottenham among the elite clubs and his signings will determine his ambition. Signing Jack Grealish screams ambition, signing Willian does not.
