Tottenham set conditions for Jack Grealish's January transfer as Man City's future unclear

Tottenham Hotspur are closely monitoring Jack Grealish as the winter transfer window approaches. The 29-year-old has had a mixed season at Manchester City, with only half of his 18 starting appearances and just two assists to his name, both coming in September.

His last goal for City was over a year ago in December, finishing last season with a total of three goals and three assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

Despite this, Grealish managed to score twice for England this autumn after being recalled by Lee Carsley for the Nations League campaign, having been left out of Gareth Southgate's squad for the European Championship.

The Daily Mail reports that Grealish could leave City next month, despite Pep Guardiola's insistence that he does not expect any January departures.

Newcastle United and Spurs are said to be monitoring his situation, while former Spurs player Kyle Walker is also said to be considering his options.

According to football.london, Grealish's salary is said to be substantial and it is believed that any interest would depend on City continuing to pay a large portion of the player's wages in return for the loan from Spurs.

Reportedly earning around £300,000 per week, Grealish would comfortably become Spurs' highest-paid player, surpassing Heung-Min Son, if a move were to happen. This would also be the case at Newcastle, where salaries are similar to those at Spurs.

Such a move could resemble the transfer deadline loan deal that saw Arsenal sign Raheem Sterling from Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

Football.london understands they have not paid a loan fee and have no obligation to make the move permanent. It is also certain that the Gunners have got a fantastic deal in terms of the percentage of his salary they pay.
