Tottenham eye late move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher

Tottenham Hotspur are planning a late window move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, according to The Telegraph. 

Spurs want to add the 23-year-old to their ranks before the transfer window closes tomorrow.

Following Chelsea’s addition of Cole Palmer, Gallagher might have extra competition and look to leave the club in search of regular minutes.

However, Chelsea have already rejected a £40 million bid from West Ham United and will reject offers around that figure from Spurs.

The Blues want around £50 million for Gallagher, and it remains to be seen if Tottenham are willing to go this high.

Any business for Tottenham will require them to shift players on their books.

They must sell Hugo Lloris, Sergio Reguilon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Davinson Sanchez, Bryan Gil and Ivan Perisic to reduce their squad before tomorrow’s deadline.

As for Gallagher, he wants to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place. He has made that clear severally, but with another player coming for his spot, he might consider moving away from his boyhood club.

Gallagher captained Chelsea to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon yesterday, and his performances this season have improved tremendously. He has been one of Chelsea’s best players this season.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino seems to like the midfielder, giving him ample playing time. 

The England international partnered with Enzo Fernandez at the base of midfield and partnered with new signing Moises Caicedo to allow the Argentine maestro to push up the pitch.

Gallagher is a top/hardworking option for any manager, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea give him up to their London rivals.

Gallagher might be the next to move if Tottenham can stump up a fee that makes Chelsea consider a sale.
