According to talkSPORT, Tottenham Hotspur are now ready to strike a definitive blow for Conor Gallagher after Chelsea decided to put him up for sale ahead of January.
Gallagher has continued to be heavily linked with a move to Spurs since the summer (Rudy Galatti – Tribal Football) but it appeared as if the North London club’s hopes of landing the midfielder were over when it emerged last month that Chelsea were set to offer him a new contract (90 min).
However, on Monday, The Daily Mail reported that the Blues had done a U-turn on the England international and were ready to listen to offers for him.
The report claimed that the Stamford Bridge hierarchy felt that January would be the ideal time to cash in on the 23-year-old as they need to raise funds to sign a striker.

Spurs expected to act on Conor Gallagher interest
The same claim has now been backed up by talkSPORT, who say that Chelsea are expected to offload Gallagher and use the funds to sign a top-quality centre-forward such as Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen.
The report states that Spurs were close to landing the Chelsea academy graduate last summer and are now ‘ready to pounce’ when he comes on the market again.
The outlet reveals that the West London club valued Gallagher at £40m last summer but does not say how much they want for the midfielder next month.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is quite clear that Postecoglou is a fan of Gallagher and the Chelsea midfielder would tick quite a lot of boxes for Spurs, given his technical and tactical profile, his age and his homegrown status.
Tottenham would not want to miss out on this opportunity and would likely consider offloading Hojbjerg if the England international is put on the shop window.
