Tottenham Hotspur have been backed for a move for Conor Gallagher in the January transfer window.
So said Rudy Galet, who spoke about Spurs’ potential interest in the Chelsea ace at Tribal Soccer. Tottenham have been heavily linked with Gallagher throughout the year, with speculation rife both before and during the summer window. The 23-year-old has remained at the club and has become a regular for Mauricio Pochettino despite recently wearing the captain’s armband.
While Gallagher’s future now looks more certain than ever, Galetti still believes the likes of Spurs will try their luck in January. The reporter suggests there could be a “possible farewell” to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, whose future remains uncertain.
“His contract expires in June 2025 and there wouldn’t be a rush on Chelsea’s side to talk about a possible contract renewal,” he wrote.
“However, the Blues want to start discussions anyway, having already had to resist pressure from other clubs this summer.
“Conor – as is well known – attracted the attention of many Premier League teams and continues to do so.
“For this reason, let’s keep an eye on Tottenham, already in January: Spurs could make a concrete move following the possible farewell of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.”
Our point of view
Gallagher is a top talent who finally looks to have a solid career in the game.
Premier League analyst Adrian Clarke said his loan spell at Crystal Palace was “so successful that he must now be regarded as one of the best midfielders in the country”.
With that in mind though, you have to wonder if Tottenham now have a chance to sign Gallagher as Chelsea and Pochettino are desperate to find their feet.
