Tottenham are looking to sign Chelsea midfield star Conor Gallagher for £40 million this summer.
The North London club are working hard to further strengthen their squad ahead of next season. They want to bring in a world-class midfielder and have a long-standing interest in Chelsea academy graduate Conor Gallagher. They might not have made a move yet but according to a report from GIVEMESPORT, Tottenham could soon knock on the Blues’ door as they are hoping to sign the English international for £40 million.
People at the North London club consider the 24-year-old to be an ideal fit for Ange Postecoglou’s style of play and with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso expected to be on the move, he could be just the perfect signing they need. Gallagher’s future at Chelsea has been uncertain for quite a while now. With his contract running out in 2025, the Blues are looking to cash in on him and want in excess of £50 million for their academy graduate.
With the Euro 2024 now over, he is expected to soon make a decision regarding his future and Tottenham are looking to lure him away. While Chelsea want over £50 million, the North London club are looking to strike a deal for £40 million. They valued him at £35 million last summer and on the back of his excellent 2023/24 campaign, they are willing to go up to £40 million a fee they forked out to bring James Maddison to the club.
Chelsea are aware of the fact that Gallagher could run down his deal and leave for free next season, a situation they want to avoid at all costs. As a result, Tottenham do have a chance of acquiring his services for a lower fee in the coming weeks.
