Tottenham Hotspur is on the lookout for a midfielder to add to their promising project under Ange Postecoglou in the January transfer window. Despite their priority being a centre-back, the club is also looking to secure deals for a forward. They have been linked to several targets, including Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, who has been in discussion since the summer transfer window.
With a price tag of £45m, many believed Gallagher could end up at Tottenham this month. However, a recent report from The Standard suggests that Gallagher is expected to reject any potential move away from Chelsea in January. This should not come as a surprise, as he has been serving as the stand-in captain for his boyhood club in the absence of Reece James and is content with his playing time.
Although Postecoglou is keen on the signing, it may be wise for Spurs to look elsewhere for recruitment this month. It has been suggested that they seek additional support for James Maddison, especially with his injury return date now revealed. Despite this setback, it is expected to be an important month for Tottenham as they aim to strengthen their squad for the future.
