Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a double summer swoop for Jack Grealish and Diogo Jota, according to the Daily Express.

The Aston Villa and Wolves stars are on Mauricio Pochettino’s shortlist as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy prepares to release funds.

What’s the word?

Spurs have not signed a player since January of 2018, when Lucas Moura moved to north London.

Grealish was a top target in the summer but Spurs failed to complete a move for the Championship star, who has been in exceptional form since returning from injury.

Indeed, he has scored two goals in four games following his comeback, including the winner in the Second City Derby against Birmingham City.

Jota, too, has enjoyed a fine season at Wolves, scoring seven goals and laying on five assists and Pochettino, per the Express, believes that he can help ease the burden on striker Harry Kane.

The Express report that Jota cost around £12.6million in January 2018, joining from Atletico Madrid.

Wolves would loathe to lose one of their best players after such an impressive debut season in the Premier League; they are currently seventh and look set to qualify for the Europa League this term.

Wonderful additions

Jota and Grealish are exactly what Spurs need.

The Wolves star is an excellent, versatile forward, equally adept at playing as a winger or as a central striker.

Grealish, too, has shown his exceptional range of talent at Villa Park and is a homegrown alternative to Denmark international Christian Eriksen, whose future remains under question.

Pochettino appears set to restructure his playing squad this summer for the first time in two seasons and starting off with attacking reinforcements is a smart move.

Kane, after all, cannot continue to shoulder the burden of scoring all the goals at White Hart Lane.

This promises to be an exciting summer for Spurs fans and players alike.
