Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce insists Tottenham are still some way from meeting their price for Jack Grealish.

The Premier League side, able to offer the attacking midfielder Champions League rather than Championship football this season, hope to get their man for around £20million.

With Thursday's 5pm transfer deadline looming, Bruce said: “At the moment Spurs haven't got anywhere near what the owners want to consider.

“They've got nowhere near, so there's no discussion. Let the two clubs find an agreement then, fine, we will see what develops.

“I don't want to lose him. But it's football, it may happen. We don't want to do it but if Spurs want to buy then they will have to pay a premium."
