Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has spoken to the media ahead of their game against Sunderland this weekend, and he's named one player he will be looking to revive.
Spurs are preparing for a crucial game in the relegation race, as they travel to Sunderland searching for their first victory of 2026.
It's De Zerbi's first match in charge of the north London club, looking to steer them away from the relegation zone with seven Premier League games remaining.
There's a chance Tottenham slip into the relegation zone on Friday night, with West Ham hosting Wolves, ramping up the pressure ahead of their game this weekend.
A host of Tottenham's squad have massively underperformed this season, and De Zerbi will be looking to rejuvenate some of those players ahead of the run-in.
De Zerbi Can Revive Tottenham Star
De Zerbi discussed plenty of Tottenham's players individually during his first press conference ahead of their game against Sunderland this weekend.
One player who was picked out was Conor Gallagher. The English midfielder has struggled since his move to Spurs, but De Zerbi was quick to mention that he 'loves' him, and wants to get him back to the levels he was producing at Chelsea.
"I want to see again the same Gallagher I loved in Chelsea at the time."
De Zerbi could be looking to implement a high-intensity style in order to pick up results over the coming weeks, and Gallagher could be ideal for that.
The former Chelsea man is one of the hardest-working players in the Premier League, and he might be set for a crucial role after De Zerbi's comments.
Gallagher Slammed at Tottenham This Season
Gallagher has come under plenty of criticism since his move to the club from Atletico Madrid during the January transfer window of this season.
The England international has struggled to hit the heights expected of him, leading to being slammed in the media and by supporters.
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara even labelled the midfielder 'absolutely awful', questioning how he ever played for a club the size of Atletico.
"Conor Gallagher, how he played for Atletico Madrid I’ll never know. He’s been awful, he’s been absolutely awful. He’s on £200,000-a-week apparently.”
It's time for Gallagher to start proving people wrong.
