Tottenham ready £30 million bid for Aston Villa's Jack Grealish - sources
Steve Nicol says it will be tough for Tottenham to improve on last season's finish without fresh signings to help their World Cup-weary core. With the start of the Premier League season just days away, the FC panel assess how Tottenham's lack of transfer activity will affect their top-four chances.
Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make an improved bid of £30 million for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish before the close of the transfer window, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.
Spurs had a £25m bid for Grealish rejected earlier this week as Villa's new owners have insisted that the England under-21 international would not leave before the transfer deadline on Thursday.
Grealish is open to the idea of a move to Tottenham as he wants to play in the Premier League and the Champions League.

"The offer we had has not been enough to be tempted. We hope he's still our player by Friday," Villa manager Steve Bruce told BBC West Midlands earlier this week. "But the last thing we want to do is pull the wool over anyone's eyes. We all know the situation."
Spurs, who have yet to make a new signing this summer, have been interested in a move for Grealish for several months but only recently made Villa an offer.
