Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish is linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Harry Redknapp has intimated to Joe.co.uk that Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish should think twice about joining Tottenham Hotspur.
The Aston Villa star has been linked with a move to Tottenham for much of the summer transfer window thus far and has his heart set on joining Spurs.
Chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly refusing to pay more than £20 million for the 22-year-old who, according to The Daily Mail, is now valued at £35 million by the Villans – £5 million more than last week.
Mauricio Pochettino already has the likes of Dele Ali and Christian Eriksen in North London, as well as Harry Winks and Mousa Dembele for now.
And Redknapp, who spent four years as Tottenham manager, believes that Grealish could wind up regret joining the Lilywhites.
“If he goes to a club where is only a bit-part player, I don’t know where he is going,” he told Joe.co.uk.
“He needs to go somewhere where he can play. If he goes somewhere to be a squad player, his career is going to go down.
“He’s not going to replace Dele Alli, that’s for sure. Or Eriksen. You can’t have a team of artists. We all want good players, but you also need Wanyama’s or whoever else you want to play in there. He is a real good player but Tottenham are a bit overloaded in those areas.”
Tottenham have yet to sign a single player this summer and the pressure is firmly on Levy to get something done before Thursday’s deadline.
Failing to sign anybody seemed unthinkable back in May but it’s slowly but surely becoming more possible for the North Londoners.
