Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid.
They have tried to sign the player in the past, and a report from Mundo Deportivo claims that they are ‘keeping an eye’ on his situation. Newcastle United have joined the race for the England international midfielder as well.
The report claims that the 25-year-old is happy at the Spanish club, but he has not been able to play regularly in his preferred role. With the World Cup coming up next year, Gallagher wants to play in his natural role so that he can establish himself as a key player for the national team. The central midfielder has previously impressed in the Premier League with Chelsea and Crystal Palace. There is no doubt that he has the qualities to thrive at Tottenham.
Tottenham need Conor Gallagher
The north London outfit needs more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the 25-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He will add physicality, work great, and a combative presence in the midfield.
It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the player. They have the resources to get the deal across the line, and Gallagher could help them improve. The opportunity to return to England could be exciting for the player.
Newcastle also keen on the player
Newcastle have an ambitious project as well. It remains to be seen whether they come forward with a proposal to sign the player. They are one of the richest clubs in the world right now.
