Aston Villa v Fulham - Sky Bet Championship Play Off Final — Jack Grealish could be Spurs' first (and maybe last) signing

Aston Villa player Jack Grealish has attracted interest from various clubs, with London clubs Chelsea and Tottenham being the frontrunners. With the transfer window closing in two days, we are yet to come to a conclusion on which club the 22-year-old will be playing for next season.

Chelsea have been actively interested in the attacking midfielder, but according to several media outlets including Sky Sports their rivals Tottenham have made a £25 million bid for the player.

It has to be noted that Spurs haven't bought a single player this summer and it would be disappointing for the fans to not see a new face at the club after the transfer window. For the very same reason, the chances of this deal going through is high.

Chelsea, on the other side, are also linked with Mateo Kovacic and Nabil Fekir. Hence, losing out on Grealish won't be a big blow for the Blues.
