Tottenham Hotspur are now genuinely interested in a move for an "unbelievable" forward in the summer transfer window, having emerged as one of the clubs most interested in his signature, according to a report.
Spurs stepping up forward pursuit
Tottenham have struggled considerably this season, with a Europa League triumph their only possible salvation as we enter the business end of the campaign, and it seems like Ange Postecoglou's job could be very much on the line.
A lack of depth has been an issue for Spurs, especially considering the amount of injuries Postecoglou has been forced to deal with, and the manager is keen to bolster his options in attack this summer, should he remain in the job.
Lazio attacker Gustav Isaksen is one of the names on the shortlist, with Daniel Levy now readying a £33.3m bid for the winger, while the chairman is also actively involved in the pursuit of Southampton's Tyler Dibling, who may now be available for around £50m.
Tottenham have opened talks over a deal for Dibling, following claims he would be keen on a move to north London this summer, but the youngster is not the only Premier League winger on the shortlist.
According to a report from GiveMeSport, Spurs now have a genuine interest in signing Manchester City's Jack Grealish, with Pep Guardiola's £100m signing potentially in line to leave this summer, having fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium.
Postecoglou's side are one of the most interested parties in the race for Grealish's signature, should Man City be willing to let him leave for a reasonable amount, with their asking price previously being considered too high.
The Englishman would have to be willing to take a wage cut, if he were to complete a surprise move to north London, with the structure not accommodating of his £300,000-per-week earnings.
"Unbelievable" Grealish needs to move this summer
The 29-year-old's decision to move to City was fully justified by the incredible treble-winning 2022-23 campaign, during which he received high praise from Guardiola, who described him as "unbelievable".
However, the winger's career has stalled somewhat recently, failing to score and picking up just one assist in the Premier League this season, having often been limited to cameo appearances from the bench.
As such, a move to Tottenham could make perfect sense for all parties, should City be willing to take a significant loss on the former Aston Villa man, and it is promising news that Postecoglou's side hold a genuine interest.
That said, a move for Dibling could make more sense, given that the Southampton ace is still in the very early stages of his career, while Grealish will turn 30 early next season.
