Mixed reports are emerging on Tottenham Hotspur making a move to sign midfielder Conor Gallagher ahead of the January transfer window.
We are now just a matter of hours away from the transfer window opening and Tottenham are looking to get business done.
A deal for Genoa defender Radu Dragusin appears to be moving closer but Spurs would also like to add another midfielder.
Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are both heading to the Africa Cup of Nations whilst Rodrigo Bentancur remains on the treatment table.
Add in the doubts over Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s long-term future and it’s no surprise to hear Tottenham being linked with a midfielder or two…
Conflicting rumours on Tottenham’s pursuit of Conor Gallagher
Royal Antwerp talent Arthur Vermeeren is thought to be a prime target for Tottenham, but so is Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Gianluca Di Marzio has sparked intrigue by reporting that Tottenham are working on a deal and trying to reach an agreement with Chelsea for Gallagher.
It’s suggested that a deal worth around £40million is in the pipeline with Di Marzio claiming that negotiations are ‘underway’.
However, that information hasn’t been backed up elsewhere and some are reporting that talks haven’t even been held.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook claims that Tottenham do have Gallagher high on their transfer wish list, but there has been no contact with Chelsea as things stand.
It’s a similar story from The Mirror’s Ryan Taylor too, as he claims that no talks have been held with Chelsea yet.
Gallagher started and played the full 90 minutes for Chelsea on Saturday as they beat Luton Town 3-2.
Gallagher captained Chelsea too with Reece James once again out of action through injury.
It’s clear that Mauricio Pochettino values Gallagher highly and the Argentinian recently called him ‘really important’ for Chelsea.
Pochettino would surely hate to see Gallagher leave, especially to a London rival in Tottenham, and we really can’t see this move materialising in January with Spurs focusing their funds on a defender right now.
