Jack Grealish has been told to quit Manchester City and join Tottenham, with a summer transfer 'nailed on'. Grealish, 29, has endured another difficult season at the Etihad, failing to score a single goal in the Premier League.

His lacklustre form saw him left him out of Thomas Tuchel's first squad as England manager, with plenty of competition in the wide forward areas. Injuries stunted his progress earlier this season but despite being available for all but two of City's games in 2025, all three of his starts since the turn of the year have come in the FA Cup.


The former Aston Villa captain still has two-and-a-half years left on his contract but he's being tipped for the exit door this summer. Former Watford striker Troy Deeney believes that Tottenham would be a good fit for Grealish, who's been 'left in the cold' by boss Pep Guardiola.


"I think it's nailed on that he's going to leave now," Deeney told talkSPORT. "I've said this before, I think Pep Guardiola's one of the best coaches we've ever seen. But I don't think he's handled the Jack Grealish slash Kevin De Bruyne situation well this year at all. I think he's left them in the cold."

Deeney went on to say that a move to north London, could see him get the regular football he so desperately needs: "He will have to leave.

"He may have to lower his expectations in terms of wages and where he's playing but you could definitely see him going to somewhere like Spurs playing week in, week out and trying to move them up but for Jack it's about staying fit and playing consistently."
