Tottenham have won the race for Jack Grealish who is waiting for Spurs to firm up their interest with an irresistible bid.

Aston Villa starlet Grealish is at the club's training camp in Portugal but is expecting to return to Premier League with Spurs.

The attacking midfielder,22, is having to be patient as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy bides his time to exploit Villa's cash woes.

But Villa boss Steve Bruce is resigned to losing Grealish to raise funds as embattled Chinese owner Dr Tony Xia clings to control.

The Londoners will offer Grealish a bumper five-year deal which will see his £20,000-a-week salary rocket.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino wants Grealish to compete with England ace Dele Alli.

Grealish has come to terms with the necessity of leaving his boyhood club since missing out on promotion in the Championship play-off final.

Leicester were keen but have since landed James Maddison for £25million while fellow suitors West Ham are snapping up Jack Wilshere.

It has left Tottenham in prime position to get their man after Liverpool declined to bid.

Grealish has watched England's World Cup success with interest knowing he could be in the same team as Spurs' Harry Kane next season.

Close pal and mentor John Terry has helped fuel Grealish's ambitions by stressing his top-flight quality and England national team potential.
