Chelsea looking to set a price tag of £80m for Tottenham Hotspur target Conor Gallagher

According to The Sun, it appears that Chelsea is determined to hold on to their talented midfielder Conor Gallagher, and if they do decide to sell him, it certainly won’t be for a small sum of money. This is a critical phase in the Premier League, with several players already missing. It’s time for us to step up our game, especially after the disappointing loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup.

Spurs’ interest in Gallagher from England Blues has been a topic for discussion over time. Many sources have mentioned that Ange Postecoglou is a big fan of the midfielder. Ange Postecoglou has made some good signings in his time there, and the reception to any new additions will undoubtedly be warm.

Despite this, as per Football Insider, It has been rumoured that the Lilywhites have had their tabs at England international Gallagher for quite some time now even though not much business between London rivals. He has been a regular feature for Mauricio Pochettino’s team this season, contributing six assists in 28 appearances across all competitions.

Talks have been held with Chelsea over a possible deal in the next few weeks but they want £80 million for him whose contract ends after 18 months.

The potential transfer of Gallagher seemed promising when reports emerged that Chelsea were considering selling him to address Financial Fair Play issues. This move would have been advantageous for the club, as Gallagher’s sale would have generated significant profit, considering he was a product of their academy.

Gallagher’s impact extends beyond his attacking prowess in Chelsea’s midfield; he also demonstrates exceptional defensive abilities. Tottenham are looking to reinforce their options in the middle of the park this month and could also recruit another player into their ranks, after completing a permanent deal for Radu Dragusin and loaned-in signing Timo Werner.
