Tottenham Hotspur is rumored to be eyeing a move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher in the current transfer window.
There has been no official approach from the North London club for the 23-year-old, but a report from Football Insider suggests that they are gearing up to make a late bid to secure his signature.
Chelsea has reportedly set a valuation of £80 million for the player, and it remains to be seen if Tottenham is willing to meet this asking price. The club has been long-term admirers of the England international and have already engaged in discussions with Chelsea regarding a potential transfer this month.
Gallagher has been an influential figure for Mauricio Pochettino’s team this season, serving as captain on multiple occasions. His attributes, such as defensive cover, energy, and creativity, make him a valuable addition to Ange Postecoglou’s midfield. His high-intensity style of play aligns with the current system at Spurs and could revitalize the team in the middle of the park.
In order to balance their finances and facilitate new signings, Chelsea is open to offloading the midfielder. Their spending in recent transfer windows has left them restricted by financial fair play regulations.
While Gallagher reportedly desires to remain at his childhood club, the evolving situation will be intriguing to observe. If Tottenham manages to secure his signing this month, it would be a significant achievement for the club.
