Football London report that Spurs are keen to push through the capture of the Aston Villa attacking midfielder and are confident of getting it wrapped up within the next fortnight before they fly out on pre-season tour to America.

Like I said I’ll support him,as for Deli Ali thing we still haven’t won anything yet,all I’m saying is Grealish will need at least a season to have any impact at all in our present squad.

COMMENTARY:
Certainly, Grealish’s potentially imminent arrival has divided opinion among the Spurs faithful. Some regard him as a flaky player who fails to justify the hype. Others believe his profile is perfect for Pochettino, who has an outstanding track record of polishing rough diamonds, at Spurs and former clubs Southampton and Espanyol. Grealish certainly fits into that category as he prepares for what will be a crunch season in his own career. The 22-year-old finished last season as the best-performing player in the Championship and has the qualities to make an impact at a Champions League club. His touch, dribbling and awareness mark him out as special, even in an elite environment.
