Tottenham Hotspur is actively exploring the possibility of securing the services of a new midfielder, with Conor Gallagher topping their wishlist, especially amid uncertainties about his future at Chelsea.

Despite Gallagher’s expressed desire to remain at Stamford Bridge, the absence of a new contract has kept Tottenham keenly interested in the English midfielder this month. Following the recent signings of Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, Tottenham now sets its sights on reinforcing the midfield.

In an interview with GiveMeSport, journalist Dean Jones shared insights into Tottenham’s surprise and interest in Gallagher. Jones noted the club’s disbelief at the potential availability of the Chelsea skipper, presenting what seems to be an unexpected opportunity to bid for the talented midfielder.

“If they could get Conor Gallagher for £40 million to £50 million, I think they would probably see that as a good deal and one that they would actually try to pursue,” Jones stated, emphasizing Tottenham’s eagerness to explore this unexpected opportunity.

Despite the emotional ties Gallagher holds with Chelsea, Tottenham remains optimistic about their appeal as the ideal destination for the midfielder. The ongoing speculation around Gallagher’s future stems from the apparent lack of clarity within Chelsea’s ranks, providing Tottenham with an encouraging sign.

Should Tottenham successfully secure Gallagher alongside the recent additions of Werner and Dragusin, it would mark one of their most successful transfer windows in recent memory. Manager Ange Postecoglou’s desire to strengthen the squad seems to be aligning with the club’s proactive approach in the January window.

Gallagher’s potential arrival at Tottenham would undoubtedly shake up the football landscape in London, adding a significant boost to the squad and signaling the club’s ambition for a successful campaign.
