Tottenham Hotspur are facing a fresh injury setback as James Maddison’s latest knock leaves Ange Postecoglou with a creative gap in midfield ahead of a crucial stretch in the Premier League. With Maddison hobbling off in their last match and concerns growing over the severity of his injury, attention has quickly turned to a potential short-term solution—and one name has emerged loud and clear: Jack Grealish.
The Manchester City star has been the subject of intense speculation, with reports suggesting that Spurs could explore a shock loan move or even test the waters with a permanent bid if City are open to trimming their squad. While there’s no concrete move yet, pundits and fans alike are already voicing their support for the idea, with many claiming that Grealish would be a "perfect fit" for Spurs’ fluid, attacking system.
“Grealish brings flair, control, and that unpredictable edge Maddison gives them,” said one former Premier League midfielder on Sky Sports. “He’s not just a stopgap—he could genuinely thrive under Postecoglou.”
From a tactical perspective, Grealish’s ability to operate between the lines, drift wide, and create overloads suits Spurs’ current structure. With Son, Kulusevski, and Richarlison rotating up front, adding Grealish could unlock a new level of creativity and maintain their attacking rhythm in Maddison’s absence.
However, a deal won’t be simple. Grealish remains under contract at City, and Pep Guardiola is unlikely to let him leave unless he’s surplus to requirements—especially with City challenging on multiple fronts. Financially, Spurs would also need to navigate Grealish’s hefty wages and any potential fee.
Still, for a club pushing to secure Champions League football and potentially more, bold moves may be necessary. With Maddison potentially sidelined for weeks, the question now is, will Spurs act quickly and decisively?
One thing’s certain—if they can get Grealish in, he could be the missing piece to keep their season on track.
