Tottenham Hotspur are now interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid, and they will face competition from Manchester United and Aston Villa.
According to a report from TeamTalk, Tottenham have long-term interest in the former Chelsea midfielder, and the player is keen on a return to the Premier League. The report further claims that Tottenham feel it is ‘now or never’ for them in the race for Gallagher, as other rivals step up their pursuit of the player.
Can Spurs agree Conor Gallagher deal?
It will be interesting to see if the North London outfit follows up on their interest with an official proposal to get the deal done. They need more physicality and drive in the middle of the park, and Gallagher would be ideal for them. He has proven himself in the Premier League with Chelsea and Crystal Palace. He could make an immediate impact at Tottenham and transform them in the middle of the park.
João Palhinha faces an uncertain future at Tottenham. They have an option to sign him permanently for a fee of £26 million, but the North London club are not clear on their decision to trigger the option yet.
Gallagher would be ideal for Spurs
It is evident that they need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. Gallagher would be the ideal acquisition for them. He will add physicality, defensive steel, work rate, and drive in the middle of the park. The midfielder has struggled to secure regular opportunities at Atletico Madrid, and a return to the Premier League would be ideal. Tottenham will be able to provide him with the platform he needs right now. He should be playing regularly in order to fulfil his potential and cement a place in the England national team for the upcoming World Cup.
Aston Villa and Manchester United could be exciting destinations for the player as well. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
