Tottenham Hotspur Are Eager To Land This Manchester City Talent: Should Frank Bring Him On Board? | OneFootball

In a recent interview with Football Insider, former Premier League scout Mick Brown claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are eager to land Manchester City talent Jack Grealish. Brown said,

“Jack Grealish needs to be playing regularly wherever he goes.

“He needs to go to a club where he can produce the type of form we know he’s capable of.

“Tottenham could be that destination, especially after they’ve missed out on the deal for Gibbs-White, because they want to strengthen in that position.

“They’ve been interested in Grealish for a while, so that deal might finally come now.

“Gibbs-White staying at Forest is going to be a big blow, but they’ll have other targets in mind.

“If it’s not Grealish, there will be somebody else, but he is certainly a name on their list.

“He can play in that attacking midfield role but can go out wide as well if needed, and that’s always a valuable asset to have in your side.

“I know he’s going to move from Man City, there’s no question about that, so the opportunity is there.

“It might depend on whether the money is right.”

Grealish’s Recent Season In The Premier League

Grealish struggled to find consistency at the Mancunian club in the previous campaign but managed to put in a run of decent displays on the left side of their attack. The English talent scored three goals and grabbed five assists in 32 matches for Man City last season on all fronts.

The 29-year-old did well to average 1.87 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 33.3% of his attempts on target. Grealish distributed the ball accurately in the opponent’s half after making 87.6% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via fbref.com).

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Bring Grealish On Board?

Grealish is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some driving runs with it out on the flanks. He has got the eye to play some killer passes in the final third and can strike the ball well from long range.

However, the English talent needs to find a way to improve his productivity in front of the opponent’s goal. Still, Grealish has got a wealth of experience in the Premier League and would be a good fit for Tottenham’s needs in the short term. He is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also operate in the number ten position if asked to do so.

We can expect Grealish to add more firepower to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s attack. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at the North London club next season.

At 29, Grealish is still playing in his prime which makes him a good choice for Tottenham to consider in this transfer window. Therefore, the London club would be wise to bring him on board this off-season.
