Jack Grealish to STAY at Aston Villa this window despite Tottenham bid as Steve Bruce snaps up up Joe Bryan for £6m

ASTON VILLA have reportedly slammed the door shut on Jack Grealish’s move to Tottenham.

Spurs made an opening offer of £25million last night but report that Villa joint-chairman Nassef Sawiris has told Grealish he is staying put in this window.

Bristol City’s Joe Bryan is also set to join Villa in a £6m deal.

Villa look at have beaten Middlesbrough to the brilliant left-back, with the Claret and Blues paying £4m up front.

The double boost to Steve Bruce comes at the end of a window that started disastrously as the club put ALL of their players up for sale.

Spurs made their interest in Grealish, 22, known early on but only made their opening offer with less than 48 hours left for English clubs to buy players.

SunSport understands Grealish would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss a move to Spurs due to the appeal of Champions League action.

But the Villa fan was not willing to demand a move away from his boyhood club and now looks set to stay for now.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was keen to do a deal on the cheap for Grealish when the extent of Villa’s financial crisis was revealed earlier in the summer.

But billionaires Sawiris and Wes Eden bailed out Tony Xia with a 55 per cent buy-out and told Bruce his stars were no longer up for sale.

Villa still need to generate around £40m to solve their Financial Fair Play problems – and Grealish could go in January.

But it appears that Villa will now hold onto their prized asset as they look to end a three-year stay in the Championship.

Fans sang “he’s one of our own” and “we want you to stay” after Grealish was subbed off at the end of Villa’s 3-1 win over Hull on Monday.

And they now appear to have got their wish despite Grealish appearing to wave goodbye at the end of the match.

Failure to land Grealish could leave Mauricio Pochettino without a single signing this window.

Bryan is poised to become Villa’s fourth addition after Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe and Atletico Madrid keeper Andre Moreira joined on loan, with shot-stopper Orjan Nyland signing from Ingolstadt for £1m.

Villa have also held talks at their training ground with Hibernian midfielder John McGinn over a £4m move amid interest from Celtic.
