Bradley Dack would be a much better signing for Tottenham than Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish

Spurs are looking to the Championship for new talent.

It is becoming clear that Mauricio Pochettino is looking to find the next Dele Alli for Tottenham Hotspur, as he has now been linked with a succession of Championship players.

Spurs came close to signing Jack Grealish from Aston Villa towards the end of the summer window, only for the Midlands club to eventually reject Spurs’ advances for the England youth international.

Since the window closed, Spurs have been linked with the likes of West Bromwich Albion duo Oliver Burke and Jay Rodriguez, as well as Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips and Brentford star Ollie Watkins.

But now they are after a new name and arguably the best of the lot – if we consider the stats.

The Evening Standard claim that Spurs have been watching Blackburn Rovers star Bradley Dack, who has excelled in England’s second tier despite only making the step up for the first time this season.

Joining Blackburn in the summer of 2017, Dack has starred for Rovers and scored 18 goals from midfield as Tony Mowbray’s side gained promotion to the Championship last season.

But his form has not stopped there. This season, he has scored eight goals in 10 games as well as turning provider on a further five occasions. It has alerted Spurs to his presence.

Though he is not the Champions League, household name that Spurs fans may believe their club needs, the 24-year-old is showing that he is a much better alternative to that of Grealish.

Grealish managed just three goals throughout the entirety of the 2017-18 – a sixth of Dack’s haul. Yes, Dack was playing in League One, but he has already doubled Grealish’s tally in the league this season with six Championship goals.

Able to play out wide, attacking midfield or indeed as a shadow striker, Dack is showing all the qualities required to make it big in the Premier League and at just 24, he is yet to reach his peak.

If Spurs were willing to spend £25million on Grealish, it is a no-brainer to sign Dack.
