Aston Villa manager Dean Smith believes the club could persuade Jack Grealish to stay even if they fail to win promotion to the Premier League.
Grealish has been a key player for Villa, scoring six goals and setting up a further seven to help them reach the play-off final, in which they face Derby on Monday looking to book a return to the English top-flight.
Tottenham are reportedly at the front of the queue of several Premier League teams interested in the 23-year-old, who has four years left on his contract with Villa.
