Tottenham Hotspur may look to reignite their interest in Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher when the transfer window reopens. Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou is a ‘big fan’ of Chelsea star Conor Gallagher, bringing back the possibility of a potential transfer in the summer. Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge has told GIVEMESPORT that an offer from Hotspur Way would be considered if their pursuit of Gallagher is reignited during the summer transfer window. This interest has been sparked despite the fact that Spurs were active leading up to the winter’s February 1 deadline, securing deals for Timo Werner, Radu Dragusin, and Lucas Bergvall.
Tottenham Hotspur was reportedly unwilling to meet Chelsea’s £50 million demands for Gallagher during the final hours of the winter transfer window. As a result, Gallagher remained at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea sought to balance their books. While Gallagher had been open to a possible move, he ultimately embraced the challenge to fight for his place in Chelsea’s squad. Postecoglou was the main driving force behind Tottenham’s pursuit of Gallagher, making it clear that he was eager to add the midfielder to his squad.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano previously mentioned that Tottenham had a ‘very good chance’ of signing Gallagher before the winter transfer window, but they opted to turn their focus to other targets instead. However, as Gallagher’s contract nears its final year and with no signs of an extension currently, there is a likelihood that Tottenham could revise their interest in signing Gallagher in the upcoming summer transfer window. It appears that the current situation at Chelsea and Gallagher’s potential availability could prompt Spurs to make a formal bid for the midfielder.
To add to this possible acquisition, reports indicate that Tottenham is also monitoring the situation of Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly, with the possibility of a free transfer. This gives additional evidence that Tottenham is actively scouting for defensive reinforcements alongside their interest in acquiring Gallagher.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has confirmed that Tottenham remains interested in Kelly despite being pursued by several high-profile clubs across Europe. This adds to the speculation that Tottenham is actively planning to strengthen their squad in the upcoming transfer window, with Postecoglou keen on bringing in new players ahead of the 2024/25 season.
The possibility of Tottenham targeting both Gallagher and Kelly indicates a proactive approach in the transfer market, showing that the club is determined to strengthen its squad for future challenges, with Postecoglou looking to put his stamp on the team. Therefore, it seems that Tottenham’s interest in Gallagher is far from over, and the upcoming transfer window promises to be an exciting and potentially transformative period for the club.
