Tottenham are reportedly preparing a late January bid to sign an underrated midfielder after missing out on Kalvin Phillips.

The team is looking to secure a new central midfielder, with manager Ange Postecoglou showing little faith in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. This has led to talks linking Chelsea star Conor Gallagher to Spurs, despite his key role at his current club.

Journalists like Darren Lewis and Wayne Veysey have suggested that a “shock” bid for Gallagher is on the horizon, as the team looks for a replacement for Hojbjerg. This comes after the disappointment of failing to secure Phillips from Manchester City.

Gallagher’s impressive performance this season has further bolstered Tottenham’s interest in the midfielder.
