Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as a serious contender to sign Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, who is highly regarded as one of the talented young players at the London club.
A previous report stated that talks between Tottenham and Chelsea have already taken place regarding a potential move for the player.
Chelsea are open to sanctioning Gallagher’s departure if their asking price of £40 million is met, and it remains to be seen if Tottenham is willing to meet this valuation.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is reportedly attracted to Gallagher’s dynamic playing style, energy, and goal-scoring threat. As Postecoglou aims to build a team that plays free-flowing attacking football next season, Gallagher’s attributes make him an appealing target.
West Ham United has also expressed a strong interest in signing Gallagher.
However, recent reports indicate that West Ham are now pursuing James Ward-Prowse, after their £40m for Gallagher was rejected by Chelsea. .
With West Ham seemingly shifting their focus, Tottenham appears to be the most likely destination for Conor Gallagher if a deal can be agreed upon.
In fact, The Telegraph reports that ‘Tottenham are his more likely destination’.
With Hojbjerg closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid, Spurs will be looking to sign atleast another midfielder to strengthen their squad.
The 23-year-old midfielder had an impressive loan spell at Crystal Palace during the 2021/2022 season, where he demonstrated his goal-scoring ability with eight goals and five assists in 39 appearances.
Gallagher’s performances stood out in an otherwise challenging season for Chelsea, further enhancing his reputation as a talented prospect.
With the interest from Tottenham, the midfielder could have options to continue his development and make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
