Spurs boosted in Grealish pursuit as Foxes land Maddison

Tottenham have seen their hopes of landing Jack Grealish this summer boosted by James Maddison impending move to Leicester.

James Nursey of the Daily Mirror claims that Leicester were one of the few serious contenders for Grealish’s signature.

However, the Foxes have opted to pursue Norwich City’s Maddison, who is expected to join the club in a £25 million deal.

Grealish is set to leave Villa Park this summer, with the player attracting Premier League interest.

Chelsea and Spurs are reportedly interested, but it’s Mauricio Pochettino’s men who are leading the race. The Spurs boss wants to land Grealish to provide competition for England star Dele Alli in midfield.

Tottenham had reportedly offered £15 million for the player, but Villa are demanding upwards of £30 million.

Villa will be holding out for as much money as possible with their off-the-field financial worries still rumbling on in the background.
