Tottenham were linked with a move for the Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish this summer.
The 22-year-old had a fantastic season in the Championship last year and Mauricio Pochettino wanted to bring him to the club.
However, the Londoners failed to agree on a deal with Aston Villa. The Championship club’s new owners refused to sell their prized asset at any price.
As per Sky Sports, Tottenham submitted a £25m bid for the player but it was turned down.
Grealish is expected to sign a new deal with the Championship club now. He has two years left on his current deal.
After a failed deadline day move to Tottenham, Jack Grealish took to Twitter to send out a message to the Aston Villa fans.
His tweet read: ‘Let’s get to work. #AVFC’.
It is evident that Grealish is ready to focus on Aston Villa’s season now. The fans will be delighted to see that one of their best players is not unsettled after his dream move fell through.
Grealish wanted to play in the Champions League with Tottenham next season.
Here is how the Tottenham fans reacted to this tweet from last night.
Good luck, go smash it this season.

Good luck Jack. If we hampered your preseason and pissed off the fans then I can only apologise. Just throw abuse at Levy, not the club. Have a good season

The way you have handled the last few weeks gives you great credit. Generations of Villans would be proud of you Jack. I know I am. Thank you.

Best of luck to you Jack, would’ve personally loved to have seen you at Spurs playing under Pochettino.
However all respect to you in the world for showing such professionalism to Aston Villa and not refusing to play or go on strike, young lads could learn a lot from you. ??
