Tottenham have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Chelsea star Conor Gallagher
The North London club have a long-standing interest in securing Conor Gallagher’s services. They wanted to sign the Chelsea midfielder last summer as well. But, unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan.
Tottenham retain their interest in the English international but according to a report from HITC, they have suffered a blow as Gallagher has no intentions of leaving his boyhood club and he has made it clear that he won’t be forced out of Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old won’t part ways with the Blues unless he feels it is the right thing to do for his career and at this point, he does not consider leaving Chelsea the right step. With Gallagher’s contract running out in 2025, there is a lot of talk about his future. Contract renewal talks are yet to get underway which is frustrating for the player and his representatives. But, he seems committed to the London club and is ready to pen a new deal if and when he is offered one.
With the player keen on staying at Stamford Bridge, Spurs have suffered a huge blow as they had identified him as their top target for the summer. Gallagher would have been a perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system as he can feature in multiple roles in the centre of the park.
Given the kind of performances he put in last season, the 24-year-old would have been a great signing for the North London club but with him not keen on a move, Spurs will have to look at other options in midfield.
