Tottenham are ready to splash the cash in order to strengthen their side in the January transfer window.

After a torrid season under Ange Postecoglou in which Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League and won the Europa League, the north London side have struggled again this time around with the club sitting in the bottom half of the table.

As a result, Thomas Frank is already feeling the heat as head coach and will be keen to work closely with Fabio Paratici in January in order to ensure that the squad has everything they need in order to challenge at the top end of the table.

Tottenham Ready For Conor Gallagher Move

Tottenham's need for reinforcements could see them move for a familiar face in the centre of midfield.

According to Fichajes, Spurs are ready to stump up in order to sign Conor Gallagher next month. Atletico Madrid are hoping for around £50million to sell the English star. Everton and Newcastle United are also keen, however it's the Lilywhites who are leading the chase and are ready to meet the Spanish giant's asking price.

Gallagher is keen to play regular first team football in the hope of earning a spot in England's World Cup 2026 squad, while a move away could free up space on Atletico's wage bill to recruit elsewhere, with Gallagher earning £200,000 a week.

Gallagher Would Be Perfect For Spurs

While Tottenham are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements with Antoine Semenyo top of their list, a top-quality midfielder would also be a huge boost for them.

One of the biggest criticism of Spurs this term has been the lack of energy and dynamism in the middle of the park. Gallagher would certainly solve that.

Scoring 10 and creating 10 in 95 appearances for Chelsea, Gallagher moved to Atletico and was instantly loved by Diego Simeone for his tenacity in midfield. In 70 appearances, he has scored six goals and provided six assists in that time.

A true box-to-box player, the 25-year-old would be a massive signing for Frank's side and would add genuine battling qualities to the ranks, while also possessing the technical quality to make his mark as well.

Of course he came through the youth ranks with Chelsea and so it remains to be seen if he'd be open to joining their fierce London rivals, but in terms of a footballing move, it's certainly one which could make a lot of sense all round.
