Tottenham target Grealish signs new five-year Aston Villa deal

Jack Grealish has signed a new five-year contract at Aston Villa, following a summer in which he was courted by Tottenham.

The 23-year-old was identified as a key target by Spurs, but the deal dragged on, with manager Steve Bruce claiming that the Premier League club were "nowhere near" Villa's valuation the player.

Reports subsequently claimed that Tottenham's first bid was worth £3 million plus young midfielder Josh Onomah, with Villa reportedly keen on receiving above £30m.

Grealish has now committed his future to Villa, ending any lingering doubts at the club that he may leave in January, and CEO Christian Purslow has expressed his delight at tying down the star.
