Tottenham are closing on a deal for Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish.

The Sun says Spurs will snub the race for Wilfried Zaha and launch a bid to sign Grealish instead.

Zaha, 25, has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave and play for a bigger club.

Spurs did try to sign the Ivory Coast winger last summer.

But they turned to Aston Villa midfielder Grealish after baulking at Zaha's £70million price tag.

Chairman Daniel Levy hopes to complete a deal for the 22-year-old next week but he has so far refused to meet Villa's £40m asking price.

Grealish could become Spurs' first buy of the summer — although Heung-Min Son and Erik Lamela both signed new contracts yesterday.
