Peter Crouch believes that Jack Grealish could get into the England international picture if he joins Tottenham Hotspur.
Peter Crouch believes that Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish could break into the England squad if he joins Tottenham Hotspur this summer amid reported interest.
The 22-year-old is an attacking midfielder who has become a key player for Championship side Villa, but that has seen Premier League clubs circle for him.
According to the Daily Mail, Spurs will have to up their offer of £20million to around £35million to sign the creative play-maker this summer.
Ex-Spurs ace Crouch insists that it could be a smart move for Grealish to make the step up to the top flight.
“If they can add Jack Grealish before the deadline, he has the potential to get into the England squad,” Crouch wrote in the Daily Mail.
Grealish is a product of the Villa academy and was part of the team that lost in the Championship play-off final last season.
The pass master is renowned for his brilliant technical ability and his attacking style of play; something that has made him a big fan favourite at Villa.
Tottenham are yet to make a single signing in the summer transfer window and the deadline is just around the corner on Thursday.
The North London club still seem quite short of Villa’s valuation of Grealish, but manager Mauricio Pochettino has shown in the past he has a knack of improving young English players.
