Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are now reportedly one of the main contenders for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

The Athletic are reporting this afternoon that Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion are “currently the main contenders” to sign Conor Gallagher from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea will sell the England international midfielder at the right price.

According to The Mirror (04/06, p77), new Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino admires Gallagher, but the former Tottenham boss is willing to sell the midfielder as he has to trim the squad.

Could Tottenham Hotspur sign Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher?

In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur could be able to sign Conor Gallagher from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Yes, West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion will play in the UEFA Europa League next season, but Tottenham are a bigger club.

And, like they have done for years now, Spurs will challenge for the Premier League top four next season.

We believe that a move to Spurs would appeal to Gallagher more than a transfer to West Ham or Brighton, although we have to note that the midfielder will be fully aware of the rivalry that exists between Tottenham and Chelsea.
