Tottenham Hotspur are the latest club to express a serious interest in an England midfielder, with the Lilywhites considering a move for him in the January transfer window.
Spurs made seven new additions to their squad in the summer window, but reports indicate that they have already started planning for January.
According to several sources, Tottenham’s transfer strategy is expected to change after the exit of Daniel Levy, with the Lilywhites eyeing ‘elite’ signings who can take the team to the next level.
It has now emerged that the North London club are seriously considering signing a former Premier League star, who was linked with a move to N17 briefly in the summer.
Tottenham want to sign Conor Gallagher in January
This report comes from Fichajes, who say that Conor Gallagher’s future at Atletico Madrid is now uncertain, with Premier League clubs continuing to show interest in the midfielder.
It is revealed that Man United came very close to signing the 25-year-old during the summer before the negotiations fell through in the end.
The outlet claims that Tottenham Hotspur have now ‘entered the bidding war with a bang’, with Thomas Frank’s side seeing Gallagher as the ‘ideal addition’ to their midfield.
Spurs are willing to start negotiations over the former Chelsea man ‘immediately’ as they look to wrap up a deal in January.
Atletico Madrid’s and Conor Gallagher’s transfer stance
Fichajes say that the La Liga giants are now ‘carefully considering’ what to do with the England international’s future.
While Diego Simone values Gallagher’s versatility and his attributes, the club are aware that his departure would bring in significant revenue.
Meanwhile, the England international’s entourage is not ruling out any scenario in January. While Gallaher is happy at the Spanish capital, he is tempted by the opportunity to return to the Premier League.
