Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are two clubs who will be determined to prove a point after enduring underwhelming seasons in the Premier League during the 2024/2025 campaign.
Pep Guardiola’s men finished third in the league table while Spurs ended up in 17th place, which led to Ange Postecoglou losing his job despite winning the UEFA Europa League.
However, Guardiola seems excited about next season and a serial winner like him will be relishing the challenge of helping his City side redeem themselves.
As for Thomas Frank, who admires Pep Guardiola, he would be hoping to do the same in N17.
Tottenham Hotspur called to ask about signing Jack Grealish
It seems like a player who the Dane reckons could help the Lilywhites bounce back during the 2024/2025 season is Jack Grealish.
Tottenham Hotspur opened talks to sign Grealish, who looks set to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer after being left out of Manchester City’s squad for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed on his YouTube channel that Tottenham made a private call to sign Grealish earlier this week but their interest is not particularly serious, saying: “Everton are working on a deal to sign Jack Grealish. There was also a call from Tottenham in the recent days to understand the situation of the player.”
“But it was just a call, no advanced negotiations.”
Jack Grealish almost signed for Tottenham in 2018
Grealish is open to joining Everton on loan but perhaps Tottenham should still back themselves to sign him, considering they could offer the player Champions League football.
Furthermore, Grealish revealed he almost signed for Tottenham in 2018.
The Englishman said in September 2018: “Of course there’s going to be disappointment there.”
“They have beaten Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford, they’re playing Barcelona in the Champions League next week.”
Grealish, who Pep Guardiola called “unbelievable” added: “I felt that if I’d gone there I could have maybe been in the England squad by the end of the year.”
“At the start of the season my head was swivelled, it was all over the place. Even after the transfer window closed, until the end of August, I wasn’t right.”
