‘Late in the window’ – Alasdair Gold reveals what he knows about Spurs and Conor Gallagher

Football London’s Alasdair Gold has said that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Conor Gallagher’s situation at Chelsea but suggested that the Lilywhites might wait until the end of the January transfer window to make a move for the midfielder.

Over the past couple of weeks, various sources have reported that Gallagher is one of the players that Chelsea are ready to move on in January, with Spurs said to be following the situation with particular interest (The Athletic).

The development has come as a surprise to many, given how central the 23-year-old has been in Mauricio Pochettino’s set-up this season, with the midfielder even wearing the captain’s armband in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell.

Gianluca Di Marzio asserted on Sunday that Spurs and Chelsea had already begun talks over the England international and that an agreement could be reached between the London clubs for around £40m.

Tottenham will play a waiting game with Gallagher

However, Di Marzio’s update has now been dismissed by Gold, who says that talks of a Tottenham move for Gallagher are ‘premature’ at the moment.

The journalist explained that the North London side continue to keep an eye on the Blues star and could make a move late in the window if Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg departs.

Gold also added that Gallagher is considered to be a perfect fit for the number eight role in Ange Postecoglou’s system.

Spurs Web Opinion

I would be quite surprised if Tottenham do not test the water with an offer for Gallagher. The midfielder is evidently rated highly by Postecoglou and Spurs would be aware that they might not get another opportunity to sign the 23-year-old if they pass up on him right now.
