Tottenham Hotspur set to press ahead for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher signing
According to the Independent (h/t Express) , Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up to intensify their efforts to secure Chelsea academy player Conor Gallagher, a midfielder highly regarded by Mauricio Pochettino.
The pursuit of the 23-year-old midfielder continues for Spurs, who initially showed interest last summer and are now set to advance in their bid.
Chelsea is reportedly seeking a fee of around £50 million for Gallagher, a price that Tottenham appears hesitant to meet. Nevertheless, considering Chelsea’s intent to generate profit from the sale of their academy players, a potential move is not entirely ruled out
This development could potentially lead to the departure of the Argentine manager’s most crucial midfielder, who has honed his skills under Pochettino and evolved into a midfield mainstay alongside Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
The England international has been a fixture in almost every game under Pochettino, even captaining the Blues in the absence of Reece James. Despite swirling rumors about his potential exit, Gallagher is reportedly determined to compete for his place. It’s worth noting that the midfielder has only 17 months remaining on his contract (transfermarkt), with no talks of an extension thus far.
Parting ways with Gallagher would be an unwise decision for the club, as it would mean losing a standout player who has thrived under Pochettino and has become a key figure in the squad’s success.
On top of selling him to direct rivals who are already doing well in the Premier League, this will be another regretful decision from us, and his addition to Spurs will be a massive boost to their hopes of winning the title this season.

But we are also in a position where we have to make a big profit, and the club knows Gallagher can generate great revenue from his exit. So let’s see if Gallagher will be able to find his place or if he will eventually leave in January or next summer.
