Manchester City star Jack Grealish could be making his way out of the club this summer, as reports suggest a move to Tottenham could be on the cards.

Manchester City and Jack Grealish joined forces back in 2021 after a stellar Euros campaign for the player, however, since joining the Premier League champions, Grealish's form has been rather lackluster; leading to the player's absence in the England squad.

Grealish displayed much potential when signing for Man City from his former side Aston Villa, with the Englishman having many expectations ahead of him.

During his time so far, Grealish has been included in many big triumphs with the Sky Blues: from multiple Premier League titles to the UEFA Champions League. Making a total of 151 appearances and scoring 16 goals is the current statistic for the 29-year-old.

According to a recent report from the Mirror, it's been said that Grealish's time with Manchester City could be ending this upcoming summer and his next destination could be Tottenham.

The speculation comes after Troy Deeney, the former Watford man, suggests that Spurs could be a suitable fit for Grealish, also mentioning that Pep Guardiola has not dealt with neither Grealish or Kevin De Bruyne's season in the right way.

What did Troy Deeney say in regards to Jack Grealish & Man City?

"I think it's nailed on that he's going to leave now. 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 and Kevin De Bruyne situation well. I think he's left them in the cold."

Stated Deeney, who also believes that Grealish will have potential clubs lining up for him, "I don't think he won't be short of suitors, but I think now it's a massive situation for him"

"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."

While Grealish's future remains unclear, it does seem as if his time with the Cityzens will be coming to an end when the summer transfer window opens and maybe Deeney's words will inspire a new partnership between Grealish and Tottenham.
