#3 Jack Grealish to Tottenham (Aston Villa to Tottenham)

Aston Villa v Reading - Sky Bet Championship

The 22-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in English football, having shone with impressive displays for Aston Villa over the last four seasons in the Premier League and Championship.

Tottenham are the only club from last season's Premier League and Champions League teams yet to make a signing, and it is expected that the next 36 hours would be busy at the club, with some players such as Toby Alderweireld, Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele expected to leave the club.

Tottenham are keen to add Grealish to their ranks, but Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce confirmed that the club would love to hold onto him, but might struggle to do so if Spurs meet their valuation of the player believed to be in the region £35m. Spurs are unsurprisingly yet to match that asking price.
