According to the most recent Football Insider report, Tottenham Hotspur are still negotiating a ‘marquee deal’ for Conor Gallagher.
They have already signed Timo Werner from RB Leipzig and Radu Dragusin from Genoa this month, and are now looking for Chelsea’s outstanding midfielder.
According to the source, while Spurs have not given up hope of signing the 23-year-old, they still have a lot of work to do on what appears to be a ‘complicated deal’.
According to the report, conversations between the clubs over a prospective transfer are still ongoing.
The North London club has been keeping an eye on the Englishman since the summer transfer season, with hopes of signing him on August’s deadline. However, the transaction did not occur at that time.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have not given up on signing the Chelsea academy graduate. Recent reports clearly suggest that the player could transfer to Hotspur Way.
Conor Gallagher is in the final 18 months of his Chelsea contract, which will end in June 2025. Despite Chelsea placing a price on the midfielder, Mauricio Pochettino is determined to keep Gallagher at Stamford Bridge. The manager values the value he adds to the team and wishes to grow the team around him.
The England international has been a key player for Pochettino this season, starting all 20 league games. He has also been selected captain in the absence of Reece James.
Ange Postecoglou admires the 23-year-old and professes a desire to include him in his squad. While the transfer fee may be a barrier for Spurs, they are not ruling out attracting their London rivals’ current captain.
