According to The Sun, Tottenham Hotspur are not prepared to pay more than £15m to sign Aston Villa attacker Jack Grealish in this summer’s transfer window.
It is understood that Spurs will make a take-it-or-leave-it offer for Grealish as the Premier League club look to test Villa’s resolve.
The Championship outfit are not exactly in the best of positions to negotiate when considering their financial problems.
It has previously been reported that Villa want £40m for the 22-year-old, but it is extremely difficult to imagine any club coming up with that sort of money in this transfer window.

The Villa fans have been reacting to Tottenham’s reported bid, and it seems that the bulk are in agreement when it comes to whether their club should accept £15m.
Grealish scored three times and registered five assists in 27 Championship appearances last term, and he might not see a lot of first-team football if he moves to Tottenham.
That said, Villa’s financial problems could well force them into a sale for less than his true value.
