Daniel Levy's £40m Tottenham decision finally vindicated amid bold Jack Grealish transfer claim

Remember the time when Tottenham were hot on the pursuit of Aston Villa star Jack Grealish?

Daniel Levy was unwilling to go above the £25million mark back in the summer of 2018 but it was understood that an offer in the region of £40m could have potentially made the Villains more open to cashing in on their star. This didn't happen and instead, the West Midlands outfit will be glad they held off for a few more years as Man City decided to stump up a British record £100m to take the 27-year-old.

It's a decision that looks costly as despite Pep Guardiola's adamancy that his number 10 isn't in the team to just contribute goals, attaining a mere 11 goal contributions in 45 games to date presents an underwhelming return for the significant investment made by the Citizens.
