Fabrizio Romano has said that Tottenham Hotspur will have to make a substantial offer to have any chance of landing Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher this transfer window.
Spurs have had an unusually busy start to the January window, bringing both Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner through the door last week, thus fulfilling Ange Postecoglou’s wish by strengthening two key areas quickly.
Things have gone quiet on the transfer front for Tottenham over the last few days as we wait to see their next move.
It has been widely reported over the last week that a central midfielder is the North London side’s next priority, with Conor Gallagher still alleged to be at the top of the club’s wishlist (Independent).
It was suggested by The Sun a couple of days ago that Spurs are ‘unlikely’ to land the England international this window since he wants to remain at Stamford Bridge and that the Lilywhites might put off their pursuit of the midfielder until next summer.
Tottenham would have to spend big on Conor Gallagher
Romano has now asserted that Tottenham would have to pay much more than the reported €40m (£34.4m) figure if they want to land the 23-year-old.
The journalist told GiveMeSport: “At the moment, the situation is very quiet. Gallagher is an important player for Pochettino. So, I think the only way [for Tottenham to sign him] is to put a significant amount of money on the table, not €30m or €40m, as we’ve seen from the rumours in recent weeks.
“It has to be a very, very big package. At the moment, we are not at that level of negotiation. The situation is still quiet. The appreciation is still there, but the situation is still quiet.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham might feel that they have a better chance of landing Gallagher for a cheaper fee if they wait until the final few days of the transfer window. The club might perhaps now be focused on finalising outgoings, with Hojbjerg potentially set to follow Dier out of the door.
