The Athletic journalist David Ornstein says that if Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Conor Gallagher then there must be outgoings

According to The Athletic[subscription required], famous journalist David Ornstein indicated that if Tottenham Hotspur want to sign talented Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, then there must be outgoings from our side.

Across the Premier League, the transfer window has been relatively calm, possibly due to the league’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs). Everton and Nottingham Forest have both been charged with breaches.

As clubs proceed with caution, they are still actively making moves to bolster their squad for the second half of the season. At Stamford Bridge, Mauricio Pochettino’s team is aiming to move up the table.

Gallagher’s presence on the Chelsea pitch has been constant this season, often wearing the armband as captain under Pochettino. The player from England has showcased his versatility by featuring in three distinct positions: the attacking midfield, central midfield and defensive areas.

His ability to perform so many different functions makes him a great option for team building. Given Chelsea’s desire to participate in European football this season, it is only fitting then for one to rightfully wonder whether parting ways with their top performers—who perhaps signs up with direct rivals—is tactically astute.

It’s highly likely that Spurs will make a move for Gallagher, given that the 23-year-old has caught the attention of Postecoglou.
