Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bolster their squad ahead of the summer transfer window re-opening.
Ange Postecoglou has progressed the club from last season, especially the team’s style of play, even if they ended the season pretty poorly.
Even before the season ended, transfer rumours were circulating left, right and centre about who Tottenham could bring in.
Fans might not like to hear it, but Daniel Levy might just wait to clear some wages from the squad before he makes his moves.
In years gone by, there has been no love lost between Spurs and Chelsea on the pitch. And in the boardroom, if rumours are to be true.
But sources have told HITC that Tottenham plan a double transfer raid of their London rivals, including wanting to sign Conor Gallagher.
Yes, Mauricio Pochettino has left, but during his one season at Stamford Bridge, Gallagher was a regular and he played 50 out of 51 games and helped his team to a sixth-placed finish.
Chris Sutton didn’t mince his words about the Englishman because he feels, throughout this campaign, Gallagher has been the ‘biggest diver’ in English football, as he told BBC’s 606.
If Spurs do sign him, you feel a certain Postecoglou won’t tolerate such nonsense because Sutton hasn’t liked what he has seen from the player this term.
Conor Gallagher biggest diver in English football
“Tell you what? A bit of a different simulation game,” said Sutton.
“We are at the end of the season. We put out there on social media, we wanted to know who was the biggest diver of the season. It was the con man, Conor Gallagher. Numerous occasions there. I have got to call him out.
“I tell you. There are honourable mentions. Fabio Silva, the Rangers player, Charlie Savage, he needs to be careful, Rob (Robbie Savage). I tell you what? He threw himself to the floor, didn’t he? Just mark his guard, have a word. The con man won the trophy, Chelsea have won something this season, the trophy you don’t want to win, you are a great player, just stay on your feet, Conor Gallagher. The winner of this season’s (simulation game). You are so much better than that, Conor Gallagher, so much better.”
Conor Gallagher – from Chelsea to Tottenham
It has been suggested that Gallagher doesn’t want to leave the Bridge, but given that Pochettino is out of the door, you feel the inevitable will now happen.
It’s just a case of will Spurs win the race for his signature.

Gallagher has Premier League experience and is also an England international. He is hoping to make the cut for Euro 2024.
But in terms of his style, especially how he presses without the ball, this suits Postecoglou’s system down to a tee and you can see him fitting in like a glove.
