Tottenham is reportedly engaged in transfer discussions to secure a “highly underrated” talent as chairman Daniel Levy and his team pursue a third January acquisition to bolster the squad for manager Ange Postecoglou.

The North London club has displayed a proactive approach in the early stages of the January transfer window, in marked contrast to their previous transfer activities. Traditionally, Tottenham has tended to conduct its business towards the end of the window, or even on deadline day. However, under the management of Postecoglou, the club has departed from this pattern.

Having publicly urged Tottenham to conclude their winter signings promptly, Postecoglou’s request has been met with swift action from Levy and the recruitment team. The acquisition of Timo Werner on a six-month loan from RB Leipzig, with an option-to-buy clause, signifies a significant move for the club. Additionally, the signing of defender Radu Dragusin has been finalized, aimed at enhancing the team’s defensive options.

Journalist Sami Mokbel highlighted Postecoglou’s growing influence at Tottenham and within other clubs, attributing it to the club’s success in the January transfer window. According to Mokbel, Postecoglou has transformed Tottenham’s perception from a club in a period of uncertainty to one that is ambitious, playing attacking football and aiming for success.

Following the arrivals of Dragusin and Werner, reports indicate Postecoglou’s interest in Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher. The 23-year-old midfielder, who has been a standout performer under Mauricio Pochettino, has reportedly been a target for Tottenham since last summer.

Journalist Wayne Veysey has disclosed that Tottenham is actively engaged in discussions to secure Gallagher, as they pursue a third signing in January. While the negotiations are reported to be complex, the club remains committed to reaching an agreement for Gallagher’s transfer. It has been suggested that Chelsea is open to allowing the player to depart, as his sale would contribute to the club’s financial fair play compliance, given his status as an academy product.

Gallagher’s consistent performances under Pochettino have earned him acclaim, with reports describing him as “very underrated.” The midfielder’s potential addition could further strengthen Tottenham’s midfield and reflect the club’s ambition to strengthen the squad in pursuit of its objectives.
