Tottenham is now one of two clubs interested in signing the 23-year-old Premier League star. Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both interested in Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
According to Football Insider, the two London clubs may earn a profit. The Chelsea midfielder, 23, has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and it remains to be seen whether the two London clubs can reach an agreement to sign him.
Gallagher battled for regular game time at Stamford Bridge last season, and at this stage of his career, he needs to play regularly.
Tottenham and West Ham may be enticed to sign him if they can guarantee him consistent playing time.
Tottenham need to bring in central midfield reinforcements, especially if Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ends up leaving the club. The 23-year-old will add defensive cover and work rate to the Tottenham midfield.
Gallagher has previously shown that he is good enough to start regularly in the Premier League and he was excellent during his loan spell at Crystal Palace.
Similarly, West Ham need to bring in midfield reinforcements after the departure of Declan Rice.
Both clubs could provide Gallagher with the platform he needs right now and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
According to reports, Newcastle were keen on signing the player as well but Tottenham and West Ham are now the only clubs involved in the transfer battle.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs formalise their interest with an official approach in the next few days.
