Tottenham Hotspur reportedly dream about signing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher at the end of the season.
A report from Give Me Sport has claimed that Tottenham view Conor Gallagher as their dream midfield signing, and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for the 24-year-old.
Dean Jones said to GMS: “Tottenham are absolutely convinced that he’s the kind of dream number eight that they’re after. So from a playing style, and personality on the pitch, Conor Gallagher really does fit the ethos of where they want to take this team. I’d say things that go against it at the moment are the fact that Conor Gallagher is Chelsea through and through. And that does sometimes play into whether a player would be willing to join a certain team. I’m not ruling out that he would join Tottenham, but it’s something to consider.”
Gallagher was linked with the January move to Tottenham. But the transfer did not materialise back then as the Chelsea mainstay did not want to leave. It appears that Tottenham will try their luck once again at the end of the season.
They need to bring in a quality central midfielder in the summer, and the Chelsea star should prove to be a quality acquisition. He is well-settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at the North London club. The hardworking midfielder should be a good fit for Tottenham’s current style of football, and his work rate and pressing ability should prove to be invaluable for them.
Tottenham would benefit from signing Conor Gallagher
The English midfielder is entering his peak years, and he will be able to play his best football with Tottenham if they can sign him in the coming months. The boyhood Chelsea fan could be sold in the summer in order to raise funds. Chelsea will need to comply with financial regulations, and they need to balance the books at the end of the season.
Gallagher could fetch a substantial amount of money for them. So, the 24-year-old midfielder might be available during the summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can take advantage of the situation and secure his signature.
The North London outfit will have to secure Champions League qualification to attract players of his quality. They have an exciting project and a quality manager at their disposal. Gallagher could be tempted to join them if Chelsea are keen on getting rid of him.
