Tottenham have long been credited with interest in the Aston Villa-supporting attacking midfielder.
Graham Roberts has suggested his former club Tottenham Hotspur should avoid signing Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish at £60 million.
The Daily Mirror reports that Grealish has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave the Villans if said figure is matched.
Tottenham have long been credited with interest in the Aston Villa-supporting attacking midfielder, but responding to a tweet by @thespursweb earlier, Roberts wrote: “Not at £60 million”.
Nevertheless, Roberts added that Grealish would be a worthwhile Tottenham signing – albeit for a significantly lower amount.
“Good player but maybe £25 million”, the former Spurs left-back continued.
Grealish’s return from injury has catalysed Aston Villa’s surge into the Championship play-offs, where they will face local rivals West Bromwich Albion at the semi-finals stage.
And it is likely that, having now scored or made 30 goals in 89 second tier matches, the 23-year-old will be playing Premier League football next season regardless of Villa’s fate.
Will Tottenham finally get their man this summer?
