Tottenham are already prepared to listen to offers for Conor Gallagher this summer, according to Football Insider.
Snapping up Gallagher in January looked like an incredibly shrewd piece of business for Spurs.
His relentless motor, aggressive pressing capabilities, and box-to-box tenacity felt practically tailor-made for the high-octane, front-foot demands of Premier League football.
Conor Gallagher was expected to be a hit at Tottenham
Displacing an established engine room that boasts the dynamic energy of Pape Matar Sarr, the tempo-setting of Yves Bissouma, and the technical grace of Rodrigo Bentancur has proven to be a massive mountain to climb.
Rather than immediately becoming the beating heart of the midfield, Gallagher has frequently found himself utilised as a rotational impact sub.
For a player desperate to cement his spot in the England squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup, sitting on the bench simply isn’t an option.

It likely comes down to ruthless squad optimisation and the ever-present reality of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Unsurprisingly, several top-flight clubs are already aggressively circling.
Midfielders with Gallagher’s Premier League pedigree are a rare commodity, and ambitious teams hovering around the European spots, would jump at the chance to build around him.
The midfielder is reportedly on high wages in North London and that is also one of the reasons why Spurs are looking to offload him in the summer transfer window.
After seeking out long-term stability with his January move, the absolute last thing he probably expected was to be packing his bags again just six months later.
