Grealish told the perfect Premier League club for him to replace fading star

The Manchester City star has struggled to make an impact for the reigning champions over the past 12 months owing in part to injury and a loss of form.

The recent emergence of Savinho coupled with the January signing of Omar Marmoush appears to have pushed the 29-year-old further down the pecking order all whilst City are suffering their worst campaign of Pep Guardiola's tenure.

Grealish missed out on the England squad for the Euros last summer and despite his best efforts to hit the ground running this season, he has again failed to rubberstamp his spot in City's starting XI.

There have been calls for Grealish to seek a move elsewhere to reignite his career in a team that may allow him the freedom to perform as he did at Aston Villa.

Grealish's swashbuckling style appears to have simmered in recent times and one Premier League fan explained where he needs to go to find himself again.

"I think the best team for him is Spurs because Postecoglou will let him play and that's what he needs," Tottenham fan Darren told talkSPORT.

Asked whether he would take Grealish over captain Heung-min Son, Darren replied: "At the moment I would because Son's not as good as he was and I think you need someone who's slightly better and I think Jack Grealish is the man to replace Son."

Tottenham has held a longstanding interest in Grealish dating back to his time at Aston Villa.

The north London club went as far as tabling a £25million offer in 2018 but chairman Daniel Levy was told the star was not for sale as Villa pinned their hopes on him firing the club back to the Premier League.

Grealish was said to be 'disappointed and disillusioned' by the reluctance to let him leave with the opportunity to play for then Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino a motivating factor.

Aston Villa manager at the time Steve Bruce said: "We understand the human side. He will want to play in the Premier League, Europe, Champions League.

"The owner has made it clear that he wants him to stay. To be fair to Jack, he has got on with it."

He continued: "We are all trying our best to hang on to him but, at the moment, there is no decision to be made as they are not at the figure where the owners are even blinking."

Grealish finally got his big move in 2022 when City splashed a whopping £100m on him to become the most expensive British player of all time.

Despite a successful first season at the club where he won the Premier League title, His second season was beyond his wildest dream as he helped City secure a historic Treble.

Since then, Grealish's career has gone on a downward trajectory with many left feeling a new challenge is needed.

The winger showed glimpses of his old self in the recent 2-0 defeat against Liverpool. His first-half display was exemplary until he was forced off before half-time with an injury.

Spurs could do with a player of Grealish's ilk who can help spark life into their season.

Like City, Tottenham have underachieved and look likely to miss out on Europe altogether next season unless they can win this season's Europa League.

For now, Grealish remains a bit-part player at City but as for the summer, few would be surprised to see him in new colours with Tottenham expected to be in the mix for his signature.
