Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer.
The 24-year-old midfielder has been linked with the move away from Chelsea and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the North London club. Gallagher has entered the final year of his contract with the Blues and Chelsea have not been able to agree on an extension with him.
They will be under pressure to sanction his departure this summer. Chelsea will not want to lose a player of his calibre on a free transfer next summer. According to a report from Football Insider, Tottenham are set to submit an offer for him imminently and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Chelsea.
It is no secret that Tottenham need to add more quality and depth to their midfield and Gallagher should prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. He has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League with Crystal Palace and Chelsea in recent seasons. He will add creativity, drive and defensive cover to the Spurs midfield.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been linked with a move away from the North London club and the 13-cap England international should prove to be a quality replacement.
Ideally, Gallagher would want to continue with his boyhood club, but Chelsea are under pressure to sell players this summer. They will need to balance the books in order to avoid a points deduction and it seems that they are willing to cash in on Gallagher.
Tottenham should look to take advantage of the situation and get the deal done. The 24-year-old could be a key player for them in the long-term. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming weeks.
