5 Deadline day transfers to watch out for

The dead
The deadline day for Premier League clubs is fast approaching

#4 Jack Grealish to Tottenham

Middlesbrough v Aston Villa - Sky Bet Championship Play Off Semi Final:First Leg
Grealish has been linked with Spurs all summer

This story has persisted all summer and seems inevitable to happen before the window closes. Tottenham remain the only Premier League side not to make a signing so far this summer and their fans will certainly begin to worry that no fresh faces could lead to a stale squad, incapable of continuing their fantastic form over the past few years.

Club chairman Daniel Levy has a reputation for leaving things late in the window to extract the best value when buying new players. He is notoriously stringent when spending money and this could explain why a deal has not yet been completed for Grealish.

There is little doubt the player himself would jump at the chance to join Spurs and while Aston Villa has made it clear they do not want to sell, a significant deadline day bid from North London would leave them with their hands tied.

The 22-year-old has been rated as an exciting prospect for the past couple of years and would represent some much-needed competition for Dele Alli who had an inconsistent campaign last term. Reports claim Aston Villa are holding out for around €38million for the winger while Spurs are around €10m off that valuation.

Expect this story to run right up until the 5pm GMT deadline on Thursday.

Transfer Probability: 8/10
