Tottenham Hotspur hesitate over Conor Gallagher valuation
Tottenham Hotspur have a long-standing interest in bringing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher to White Hart Lane, and they are looking to fortify attempts to get his signature this summer.
The Lilywhites have progressed massively in a short span under Ange Postecoglou’s tutelage, and they will be looking to raise the ceiling of the squad this summer. Midfield has been tagged as one of the positions where Spurs would be looking for reinforcements in the offseason.
The price of pursuit
The future of the 24-year-old at Stamford Bridge has been the talk of the papers, despite the former Derby man wearing the captain’s armband for the majority of the ongoing season. He has been a mainstay in Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield, and the Argentine would like him to continue with the Blues beyond the ongoing season if he were to remain at the club.
Despite his high status in Chelsea’s midfield, multiple officials at the Bridge see him as a sellable asset. His homegrown status means that Chelsea can treat the whole financial influx as pure profit. They value the England international at £50 million and see him as a possible sellable player.
Conor Gallagher has only one season left on his current contract at Chelsea, and they would be looking to sell his services rather than risk losing him for free.
Another possibility is to get the 24-year-old to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge. His preference is to stay at Chelsea, and he believes his performances reflect his ability and strengths to explore levels in his game.
