Tottenham fans are getting excited about their summer swoop for Jack Grealish, after Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce confirmed the youngster’s impending exit.

He may have only scored three Championship goals last season, but Spurs fans are feeling optimistic about the links to Villa’s Grealish.

The Championship club will have to sell several first team players to stave off financial trouble, and Bruce has now confirmed Grealish will be one of the players to leave.

"He is a special talent, a real special talent, and yes, you don't want to lose him but the inevitable thing is we have to,” Bruce told Sky Sports.

“We have to - to keep the club up and running and keep it in line with Financial Fair Play.”

The 21 year-old has fantastic ball carrying ability, and while he would certainly not be a replacement for the more defensive Mousa Dembele, he would replace some of what the Belgian brings to the table, dribbling the ball forward from midfield.

While Bruce does not confirm Spurs will be the team to sign the 22 year-old, Mauricio Pochettino’s record with young English talent is expected to lure the Villa star to North London, where he will hope to follow in the footsteps of Dele Alli.
