Chelsea are set to beat Tottenham to the signing of Jack Grealish as the Lilywhites continue to struggle to make new signings.

Grealish has been advised by John Terry to quit Aston Villa and make the step up to the Premier League by John Terry, and he has reportedly told the Villans that he wants out.

The 22 years old would have stayed if Villa had won promotion back to the Premier League last season, but they failed at the Playoff finals.

He has been courted by the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United also, but Spurs were always the clear favourites to land him for £20 million before now.

However, it appears that Mauricio Pochettino does not have cash to spend yet as Spurs complete the building of their new stadium, and Chelsea are looking to sign him, before Spurs are ready.

Maurizio Sarri has reportedly told the Blues to sign him for a reported £20 million fee.

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho is fed up with Anthony Martial’s behaviour and the Portuguese boss is ready to offload the French man to Real Madrid this summer.

Martial’s relationship with his gaffer has reportedly broken down completely after he left the team’s camp for the birth of his baby without permission.

He has asked to be sold, but the club had told him he is going nowhere and should be ready to honour the final two years of his current deal.

But the former Monaco man has irritated his manager so much and reports claim that Mourinho has told Real Madrid that they can land him for £89 million.

Real Madrid are looking for a new star attacker after they sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus for £100 million. Eden Hazard is Florentino Perez’s first choice to replace Ronaldo, but Chelsea want £200 million for the Belgian.

Martial could be a useful alternative as the French man has obvious potentials and he is just 22 years old.

Chelsea are set to make a fresh attempt to land Crystal Palace winger, Wilfried Zaha after they failed in their initial effort to sign him.

The Blues reportedly offered £30 million plus Danny Drinkwater for the Ivorian winger, but Palace turned the offer down as they look to sell him for at least double that price.

Zaha is being targetted by Chelsea because of the uncertainty surrounding the future of Willian and Eden Hazard who are both wanted by Real Madrid.

Willian just reported late to camp this week after having some issues with his passport, but the Blues think foul play is involved and they want to prepare just in case he decides to ask them for a move.

Zaha has told Palace that he wants to leave after they offered him a new contract with improved terms. The former Manchester United winger believes now is the right time for him to test himself at a big club again.

Tottenham are also interested in his signature, but Mauricio Pochettino appears to have no funds for new players and that could see Chelsea have a free way to land him.
