Conor Gallagher could become one of Tottenham’s top earners, even above Kulusevski

With Conor Gallagher the latest player to join Tottenham this month, we’ve taken a look at just how costly his move will be for the Lilywhites compared to the players they already employ.

Tottenham surprised everyone by winning the race to land Conor Gallagher, bringing to an end his adventure in Spain with Atletico Madrid.

Spurs fans are not sure Gallagher is what they need right now, but he’s still an experienced and talented player who can improve the team.

The £35m deal for Gallagher is not even close to being one of the most expensive deals Spurs have done in the transfer market. But what about his salary?

Conor Gallagher’s wages are on par with Mohammed Kudus at Tottenham

Now, footballers’ wages are something we can only really speculate on. However, we can have an educated guess thanks to data from Capology.

The information there suggests Gallagher was earning around £150,000 per week at Atletico. It’s safe to assume he isn’t going to be taking a pay cut to join Spurs, either.

So, that kind of wage would put Gallagher on par with both Mohammed Kudus and Randal Kolo Muani at Spurs.

It would also see him earn more than Dominic Solanke (£140,000), Dejan Kulusevski (£110,000), and Micky van de Ven (£90,000).

A pay rise could see Gallagher match James Maddison

There’s every reason to believe Gallagher might even get paid more at Tottenham than he was at Atletico. Indeed, if we look at Gallagher’s stats compared to his new teammates, you could argue he deserves a pay rise.

Gallagher’s salary is not far behind James Maddison, who earns £170,000 a week at Spurs. It’s not unrealistic to think the former Chelsea man will end up matching the Tottenham number 10.

However, it would be a big ask for him to get to the level of both Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons, who are thought to be on £195,000 per week.

Still, while Chelsea fans may be fuming with Gallagher for this move, he’s probably not going to mind too much, given the money he will be earning upon his return to England.
