Tottenham Hotspur will continue to try and sign another central midfielder during this transfer window, despite bringing in Archie Gray from Leeds United.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track Podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Premier League side will look to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s options in the middle of the park.
Spurs have been focusing on strengthening this area of the team since last summer, and the signing of versatile midfielder Gray certainly helps that.
His departure will incentivise Spurs to strengthen in the summer, but one player who isn’t expected to be joining is Conor Gallagher.
Tottenham are set to miss out on the Chelsea midfielder
Spurs have kept tabs on Gallagher for a long time and have attempted to sign him for Postecoglou since last summer.
Sources have revealed it is now unlikely that Gallagher will leave Stamford Bridge this summer as Chelsea have done their transfer business to help with profit and sustainability.
Gallagher has made it clear he would like to stay at Chelsea, but contract talks between the player and the club have stalled.
The England international became a regular for the Blues last season, featuring 50 times in all competitions.
Tottenham might not be able to secure Gallagher in this window, but the club are interested in another former Chelsea player.
Tottenham’s pursuit of Conor Gallagher could be over but there’s still hope for them when it comes to signing another top midfielder.
Spurs have already splashed out this summer to sign Archie Gray from Leeds and Ange Postecoglou is hoping to get even more backing over the next few weeks.
For Tottenham, it’s another big summer of change where Postecoglou is also hoping to move on a number of players as well.
Of course, for Spurs fans, the incomings are the most important part of the summer window.
A new midfielder is thought to be high on Tottenham’s to do list this summer and after constant links to Conor Gallagher in recent times, it’s clear that Postecoglou wants someone in.
However, according to fresh reports, a move for Gallagher could now be off, with Spurs instead looking at signing his England teammate.
Ebere Eze is open to Tottenham move with Conor Gallagher deal now less likely
According to a report from GiveMeSport, Crystal Palace star Eze is open to the idea of a move this summer.
It comes as he looks to weigh up his options at Palace after seeing Michael Olise depart.
Eze has a release-clause in his contract of around £60m and it’s been heavily reported that Tottenham are keen on bringing the England star to North London.
This report from GMS gives Tottenham further hope on that front, with suggestions that Eze is willing to consider a move away this summer if the deal is right.
It’s claimed further in the report that Tottenham are now cooling their interest in Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, who could wind up signing a new deal at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea got to the PSR deadline without a hitch and could now choose to invest in Gallagher, rather than sell him on.
Of course, for Tottenham, missing out on Gallagher frees up the budget to go and look elsewhere.
The ‘world-class‘ Eze, then, could well be the man they turn to next.
