Ange Postecoglou is eager to strengthen his attacking options and feels the 29-year-old could bring a fresh dynamic to his squad. Spurs are seeking to add both quality and experience up front, and Grealish’s ball-carrying prowess is seen as a valuable asset.
There’s a sense within the club that they need a player who can help control the tempo, with Grealish’s ability to draw fouls and move play forward seen as crucial.
However, a January move seems unlikely, as City are reluctant to part with squad players while managing an ongoing injury crisis. Despite this, Tottenham are setting ambitious goals for the transfer market and are keen to pursue Grealish if a deal becomes possible.

The England international has found himself out of Guardiola’s starting lineup recently and is reportedly open to a transfer for more consistent game time. Tottenham is considered a potential destination, with both sides thinking of being open to the idea, provided the city is willing to let him go.
Any deal may also depend on whether Spurs secure Champions League qualification, as there are questions over whether Grealish would be willing to move without the lure of Europe’s top competition.
Does Grealish need a move away from Manchester?
Since joining Manchester City in 2021, Jack Grealish has managed to score 14 goals in 135 matches. Although he played a significant role in the 2022/2023 season, his involvement diminished last season due to a combination of reduced form and various injuries. He also lost his place in the England team.
It would be interesting to see if a move from this City would give his career a bit of a restart. He could still be a world class Premier League player for the next 5 years.
