Journalist Dean Jones has said that Tottenham Hotspur are waiting to see how Conor Gallagher’s contract situation develops before making a move for Everton’s James Garner.

Over the last couple of weeks, several outlets have suggested that Spurs are plotting to revisit their interest in Gallagher in June if the midfielder does not put pen to paper on a new contract with Chelsea over the coming months (Telegraph).

As the 23-year-old continues to near the final year of his contract, it has also been reported over the last week that the West London club are reluctant to offer him a new deal worth more than £150,000 per week (Daily Mail).

Meanwhile, it has also emerged recently that Spurs have identified Garner as a potential alternative to the Chelsea star, with the Everton youngster thought to be seen as a good fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system (TEAMtalk).

Tottenham are monitoring James Garner

Jones has now also suggested that the 22-year-old is a backup option to Gallagher, explaining that the Lilywhites are continuing to watch the England international’s situation closely.

The journalist told GiveMeSport: “Garner is probably a Gallagher alternative that Tottenham might look at. Obviously, it’s very early days to be analysing the summer transfer window.

“We know that Tottenham are still waiting to see if Conor Gallagher does become available because there is a feeling still that he might and the longer that contract situation goes on, the longer they will believe that something might be able to happen.

“But if Conor Gallagher does end up signing a contract extension, they need to have a list of names they immediately turn to. And I guess James Garner kind of fits the profile somewhat so yeah, an interesting one to look out for.”

It is too early to speculate on who Tottenham will be targeting in the summer as a lot can change from now until the end of the season. It is also interesting to consider whether the arrival of Bergvall changes Spurs’ plans regarding the profile of the midfielder they are after.
