Football Insider have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur plan on revisiting a move for Conor Gallagher next summer after failing with an effort to sign the midfielder in January.
Throughout the January window, several sources backed Spurs to test Chelsea’s resolve with a late offer for Gallagher (The Times) but such an offer never seemed to arrive at the end, with the 23-year-old staying put at Stamford Bridge.
Ange Postecoglou’s men decided to make a move for Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall instead, stealing him from under Barcelona’s noses on transfer deadline day (Matteo Moretto).
Summer move on the cards for Gallagher to Spurs
Football Insider say that Gallagher continues to be on Tottenham’s radar, with the North London side now planning to ‘step up their efforts’ to sign the player next summer.
The report says that Spurs held extensive talks with Chelsea over the England international but were priced out of a move, with their London rivals demanding a whopping £80m for the midfielder.
However, Gallagher allegedly remains a ‘top target’ for Ange Postecoglou, with Tottenham expected to try again next summer, The outlet adds that the Chelsea academy graduate’s price will drop to around £50m at the end of the season since he will have just a year left on his contract.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham may reignite their interest in Gallagher next summer but there is no way that the club would consider spending £50m on a player with just a year left on his contract.
Under the current financial climate, Chelsea will likely be forced to significantly drop their valuation of the 23-year-old if he does not sign a contract extension before the end of the campaign.
