Tottenham might submit a bid worth £30-40 million to sign 24-year-old English international Conor Gallagher from Chelsea.
According to a report by Football Insider, Conor Gallagher is the subject of interest from Tottenham. The 24-year-old faces an uncertain future at Chelsea after entering the final 18 months of his contract. And the North London giants are ready to offer £30-40 million to sign him from their fellow London club in the summer transfer window.
Conor Gallagher and his Chelsea Journey
Conor Gallagher has established himself as a pivotal figure for Chelsea since returning from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. The Englishman was in and out of the starting lineup last season but has found a stable footing in the ongoing campaign. He has even donned the captain’s armband for most of the season.
The 24-year-old has racked up nearly 3,000 minutes of game time in 38 appearances, chipping in with four goals and seven assists. But Gallagher’s long-term Chelsea future is uncertain as he has entered the final 18 months of his contract. Meanwhile, talks between the two parties have barely progressed.
So, Gallagher might leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window, with Tottenham keen on signing him. The North London giants were also interested in securing his services this past winter. But a move did not materialise, with Mauricio Pochettino batting for him to stay at Stamford Bridge.
What does the future have in store?
The Chelsea manager remains at odds over the long-term future of Conor Gallagher. But the 24-year-old English international will likely leave the West London club if the two parties do not reach a common ground in talks over a new contract. Such a situation gives a shot in the arm to Tottenham Hotspur.
While Gallagher wants to stay at Chelsea amid the links with Tottenham, the North London giants are ready to offer £30-40 million to secure his services. It is unclear if such a sum will convince Chelsea to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Reports in the winter transfer window had suggested that Chelsea would demand much more than £30-40 million to part ways with Gallagher. With the Englishman’s talks with Chelsea not progressing, a move across London might be on the cards.
