Gallagher has had an important role under Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea this season, even having worn the captain’s armband on a couple of occasions, owing to the injuries to Reece James and Ben Chilwell.

However, the speculation linking him with a move away from Stamford Bridge has not quietened with The Athletic claiming back in September that the Blues hierarchy would be open to cashing in on the 23-year-old in January amidst Tottenham’s interest.

90 min even asserted last month that the Spurs believe that they would be the England international’s preferred destination if he leaves his boyhood club in January.

Journalist Rudy Galatti told Tribal Football two weeks ago that Ange Postecoglou’s men have still not given up hope of being able to land the Chelsea academy graduate despite his prominent role at the West London club this season.

Tottenham are not in talks over Conor Gallagher

However, Romano has now expressed serious doubt as to whether Chelsea would allow the youngster to leave in January.

When asked about Gallagher potentially being sold, the journalist told The Debrief: “I’m not sure it will be a part of the January window. I feel like Chelsea want some stability in midfield. I think Chelsea will focus on different priorities. 

“For Gallagher, I’m not sure he will be a part of the January window in terms of a Chelsea exit. The new deal, discussions are not in advanced stages yet, but Chelsea are happy with him, this is something to check again in December or January. 

“Also, Tottenham are not active in terms of negotiations with Conor Gallagher right now.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It is clear that Pochettino sees Gallagher as an important part of his plans at Chelsea. Tottenham would have likely started exploring other alternatives already but if the 23-year-old does not sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge before January, I can see Spurs testing the waters with an offer.

Over the last month and a half, there have been several contradictory reports on the future of Gallagher, who has been a regular in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting eleven at Chelsea so far this season.

90 min even asserted a couple of weeks ago that the Spurs believe that they would be the England international’s preferred destination if he leaves Stamford Bridge in January.

However, a recent report on  Football Insider poured cold water over those claims, suggesting that Gallagher is ready to put pen to paper on a new deal at his boyhood club, having been given assurances by Pochettino that he is an important part of his plans.

Two out and one in for Spurs midfield in January

If Galetti’s latest update is to be believed, Spurs have not yet given up hope of signing the Chelsea star, with the club potentially ready to offload Lo Celso and Hojbjerg to make room for the 23-year-old.

The journalist also backed up what we have heard from other sources recently about Tottenham’s interest in Al-Ittihad winger Jota, and Postecoglou’s desire to invest in a new forward. 

Galetti told Tribal Football: “On the exits list, the main names are Giovanni Lo Celso and Pierre Hojbjerg.

“The chances of seeing them leave in January – towards Spain – are growing: for the Argentine midfielder, Tottenham are also open to evaluating the idea of a loan, while the eventual farewell of the Danish midfielder – Atletico Madrid are always interested – could open up some scenarios, including the possible assault on Conor Gallagher.

“However, the priority of Postecoglu is to replace Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon – both injured – on the left side of the pitch.

“To date, Spurs – among others – are monitoring Jota: after his sensational move to Al Ittihad, coach Nuno, for the moment, doesn’t consider him an important player and this difficult situation could facilitate his transfer as early as January.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I would be extremely surprised if Chelsea allowed Gallagher to leave in January, given that the midfielder is evidently central to Pochettino’s plans.

However, if the 23-year-old does not sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge within the next couple of months, I fully expect Tottenham to test the waters with an offer.

Conor Gallagher’s future is open amid Spurs links

Romano has now said that while Gallagher is happy at the West London club, there is no certainty regarding his future at the moment.

The journalist said on CaughtOffside’s The Debrief: “It’s just a player trying to do his best in a strange situation because obviously over the summer transfer window, there were many possibilities with West Ham, with Tottenham.

“It was never that advanced, it never reached the advanced stages like OK he’s going to leave, but it was negotiated and it was discussed.

“So, obviously [Conor] Gallagher knows that very well. But at the same time, he really loves Chelsea. He’s very happy at Chelsea, he wants to fight for his place there, so I think it remains an open situation.

“We have to see what’s going to happen in the next two, three months, what’s going to be the impact of the player on the pitch because his contract expires in the summer of 2025 and for Chelsea, the message is very clear, it’s exactly what they did with Mason Mount.

“So, they want contracts to be extended, otherwise, they are prepared to sell players.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Pochettino evidently sees Gallagher as an indispensable part of his plans. So, I do not see a world where the Blues fail to tie the midfielder down to a new deal, especially if he is happy to sign on the dotted line.

The post Fabrizio Romano thinks the future of Spurs target will be decided in two or three months appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gallagher has established himself as a mainstay in Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield this season, having started every single one of Chelsea’s eight Premier League matches so far (Transfermarkt). 

However, some reports over the last couple of weeks have continued to indicate that the Blues hierarchy are open to cashing in on the 23-year-old amidst Tottenham’s interest (The Athletic).

A few days ago, we relayed a report from 90 min which said Spurs believe they would be the England international’s preferred destination in January if he does not sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge.

Conor Gallagher now ready to put pen to paper

However, if Football Insider’s latest update is to be believed, the midfielder is now ready to commit his future to his boyhood club.

The report explains that Gallagher, who is contracted to the West London club until 2025, was initially concerned about a potential lack of game time after the arrivals of Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo and Lesley Ugochukwu in the summer.

However, now that Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear that he is a ‘big part’ of his plans, the former Crystal Palace loanee is willing to sign a new deal.

Spurs Web Opinion

Gallagher was always going to be a difficult one to pull off and I felt that Spurs had to get it done in the summer if they were going to do it.

Unfortunately, Hojbjerg’s move to Atletico fell through in the summer, which meant that Tottenham put off a move for the Chelsea star, and he now appears to have become a mainstay in Pochettino’s starting eleven.

The post Report: Potential blow for Spurs as target is now ‘happy’ to sign new contract appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The report states that Spurs are closely monitoring Gallagher’s contract talks with Chelsea after their failed attempts to sign him during the summer transfer window.

It is said that while the Blues are eager to tie the player down to a new contract, talks have not progressed significantly at the moment.

Should Gallagher not put pen to paper on a deal before January, it is suggested that the West London club would be open to selling him since he is only contracted to the club until 2025.

Tottenham fancy their chances in Gallagher race

90 min explain that Chelsea were ready to sell the England international for £50m in the summer, with Spurs, Brighton and West Ham United thought to have expressed an interest.

The publication adds that while Thomas Tuchel is also keen on reuniting with Gallagher at Bayern Munich, Tottenham believe that the midfielder’s preference would be to join them if he were to leave Stamford Bridge.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Gallagher does not sign a new contract before January, there is no doubt in my mind that Tottenham will test the waters with an offer, particularly now that Hojbjerg looks quite likely to leave.

However, my suspicion is that the 23-year-old will sign a new deal at Chelsea within the next couple of months, given that he seems to have won Mauricio Pochettino’s trust.

This claim was partially refuted by CaughtOffisde who suggested last week that Chelsea might be open to tying the midfielder down to a new contract.

The publication explained that the West London club are ready to open talks over a new deal with Gallagher as a means to show their commitment to Pochettino’s long-term project at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham have not given up on Conor Gallagher

However, Galetti has now stated that Chelsea are not rushing to tie down their academy graduate, hinting that Spurs have not completely given up hope of landing the player.

The journalist told Tribal Football about Gallagher: “His contract expires in June 2025 and there wouldn’t be a rush on Chelsea’s side to talk about a possible contract renewal.

“However, the Blues want to start discussions anyway, having already had to resist pressure from other clubs this summer. Conor – as is well known – attracted the attention of many Premier League teams and continues to do so.

“For this reason, let’s keep an eye on Tottenham, already in January: Spurs could make a concrete move following the possible farewell of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.”

Spurs Web Opinion

While Hojbjerg looks certain to leave Spurs in January at this point, it seems unlikely that Chelsea will put Gallagher up for sale. However, if the 23-year-old does not sign a new contract over the next three months, I expect Tottenham to test the waters with an offer for the player in January.

Chelsea ready to open contract talks with Gallagher

However, CaughtOffside have now suggested that the West London Clubs are ready to tie Gallagher down to a long-term deal.

The report explains that the Stamford Bridge hierarchy are expected to show their commitment to Mauricio Pochettino’s long-term project and they plan on doing this by resolving the England international’s contract situation.

The outlet adds that the Blues are not rushing to tie down Gallagher to a new deal just yet since he is contracted to the club until 2025, but they are willing to hold discussions with the player’s entourage.

CaughtOffside add that Sprus are ‘worth keeping their eye on’, explaining that the Lilywhites could make a move for the Chelsea academy graduate in January if Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg departs.

Spurs Web Opinion

It would not be easy for Tottenham to prize Gallagher away from Stamford Bridge as Pochettino appears to be a fan of the midfielder.

Having said that, three months is a long time in football and the 23-year-old could find himself having fallen down the Argentine’s pecking order by the time the transfer window reopens.

The post Report: Tottenham could suffer blow in alleged pursuit of midfielder amid contract talks appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Gallagher has started every single game for Chelsea this season, even captaining the Blues in their Carabao Cup second-round tie against Wimbledon.

However, questions continue to be raised about the 23-year-old’s future at Stamford Bridge, with The Athletic reporting two weeks ago that the youngster is ‘more valued for his potential sale price than his on-pitch contributions’ by the West London club’s hierarchy.

Last week, Football Insider described Spurs as ‘long-term admirers’ of Gallagher and claimed that the Lilywhites are considering reigniting their pursuit of the player in January after seeing their interest knocked back on summer transfer deadline day.

The outlet added that they have been informed by a ‘well-placed source’ that Chelsea could decide to offload their academy graduate due to their current financial position.

Conor Gallagher is happy at Chelsea under Pochettino

However, the England international has now suggested that Pochettino sees him as part of his plans.

Gallagher said (via Football.London): “If you had said to me last season that there’s going to be a couple of games where you lead the team out, I still would have laughed at you then as well. That shows the gaffer’s belief in me right now.

“And ever since I first met him, to be honest, I think a lot of the lads will say the same. He’s very honest and open with the players, and I’ve had good chats with him, and I think he appreciates what I can do on the pitch and believes in me.

“So I’m really grateful for that, and hopefully I can continue to help him and the team get better results.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It is clear that Pochettino rates Gallagher highly but what is evident is that the Argentine is not calling all the shots at Stamford Bridge. It is possible that Chelsea’s transfer committee will overrule him and decide to sell the midfielder if they receive a decent offer in January.

The post Conor Gallagher opens up on Pochettino relationship amid Tottenham links appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Over the summer, it was reported that Conor Gallagher was deemed ‘surplus to requirements’ by Chelsea, and it was suggested that both Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham were keen on signing the England midfielder from their London rivals (Evening Standard).

Despite a bid of £37m plus add-ons from the Hammers (Jacob Steinberg) and continued speculation surrounding an approach from Spurs, Chelsea decided to keep hold of Gallagher.

The 23-year-old has since started all six games for Chelsea under Mauricio Pochettino so far this season (Transfermarkt).

However, that may be largely down to the fact that new signing, Romeo Lavia has been injured since joining the club. Fellow midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has also suffered an injury, allowing Gallagher to continue his run in the team.

Will Conor Gallagher leave Chelsea?

It has now been suggested by Football Insider that, once Chelsea have players back from injury, Gallagher could slip down the pecking order and look to leave the club.

It is thought Gallagher is currently happy as he is a “regular for club and country at present.” However, sources claim the midfielder could “change his stance” by the time January comes around if he were to lose his place in the starting lineup.

Apparently, with international aspirations in mind, Gallagher “recognises the need for regular first-team football.”

Spurs Web Opinion

With no European football to think about, Chelsea players will find game time limited this season, and Gallagher will have a tough decision to make if he does lose his place.

I think it’s pretty clear he doesn’t want to leave the club, but his hand could be forced if and when Lavia replaces him.

It was explained that the Blues would be open to cashing in on their academy graduate for the right fee in January due to their financial situation.

Gallagher wants to stay at Chelsea despite Spurs links

However, Football Insider have stated in their latest update that Gallagher is happy at his boyhood club, having started every single game under Mauricio Pochettino this season.

The publication asserts that even though the England international is attracting interest from Spurs and West Ham, he would be happy to continue his career in West London.

Spurs Web Opinion

Three and a half months is a long time in football and a lot can change between now and January. It is quite possible that Gallagher could fall down Pochettino’s pecking order before the window reopens, in which case, Tottenham will likely try again to secure the 23-year-old.

Tottenham plotting a return for Conor Gallagher

Football Insider have now claimed that Spurs, who are ‘long-term admirers’ of Gallagher and saw their interest knocked back on transfer deadline day, are now considering reigniting their pursuit of the player in January.

The report states Chelsea are now well-stocked in midfield following the arrivals of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Lesley Ugochukwu, with Mauricio Pochettino happy with his options in the middle of the park.

The outlet reveals that they have been informed by a ‘well-placed source’ that the Blues could decide to offload Gallagher due to their current financial position.

It is alleged that Chelsea would consider parting ways with their academy graduate if the right offer arrives in January.

Spurs Web Opinion

I have no doubt that Tottenham will make an enquiry for Gallagher in January, with the midfielder seemingly being quite highly rated by Postecoglou.

I am also convinced Hojbjerg will push even harder for a move as he looks unlikely to get too many starts until January unless there is an injury crisis.

However, that failed to materialise, with the Dane remaining at Spurs while the England international continues to ply his trade at Stamford Bridge.

Do Tottenham need Conor Gallagher?

It remains to be seen if Tottenham reignite their interest in the Chelsea player when the transfer window reopens in January, and it has been suggested by some publications over recent days that the Blues might be open to cash in on the midfielder.

This includes The Athletic, who claimed earlier this week that Gallagher is ‘more valued for his potential sale price than his on-pitch contributions’ by the West London club’s hierarchy.

However, the 23-year-old has started every single game for Mauricio Pochettino so far this season, which is why Gold is sceptical about whether he will be in the shop window.

The journalist said on his YouTube channel: “Gallagher is the more difficult one. He now plays regularly for Chelsea. Then why are they going to let him go in January? Much depends if he is out on the pitch or not.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Three months is a long time in football and a lot can happen between now and January. So, it is very much possible that Chelsea would be open to offers for Gallagher when the transfer window reopens, particularly since they would need to strengthen in other areas of the pitch and would want to comply with FFP.

However, Gallagher remained at Chelsea while Spurs were also unable to offload Hojbjerg before the deadline.

It was asserted by Football Insider on September 4 that the deal fell through because the Lilywhites were only willing to offer £40m for the midfielder while the West London club were holding out for £45m.

Will Chelsea sell Conor Gallagher to Spurs

It remains to be seen if Tottenham go back in for Gallagher in January but if The Athletic’s latest update is to be believed, Chelsea would be open to selling the midfielder.

The report adds that even though the England international has been a regular in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting eleven this season, the youngster is ‘more valued for his potential sale price than his on-pitch contributions’ by the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.

Spurs Web Opinion

Much like Brennan Johnson, I suspect it is Postecoglou who was the main driver of Tottenham’s interest in Conor Gallagher during the summer transfer window. I fully expect Spurs to reignite their interest in the Chelsea star in January if they manage to offload Hojbjerg.

Tottenham’s offer for Gallagher fell short

Football Insider have claimed that despite not being able to move on the Dane, the Lilywhites submitted a £40m deadline-day offer for the Chelsea star.

It is alleged that Spurs were on the trail of the England international all summer and even held extensive talks with their London rivals regarding the player.

However, it is explained that they simply could not agree on a deal with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, who valued Gallagher at £45m.

Spurs Web Opinion

I highly doubt it was the £5m difference in valuation that prevented Tottenham from signing Gallagher.

While Spurs’ inability to offload Hojbjerg might have been a factor, Pochettino might have also been reluctant to let the 23-year-old leave, with the midfielder starting all four league games so far this season.

Gallagher will stay put despite Tottenham attempts

The Mail have now asserted that Spurs’ pursuit of the centre-midfielder is now over as they were only willing to offer £40m while the Blues valued the player at £45m. 

The outlet explained that Gallagher did weigh up his future after the arrival of Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia at the West London club.

However, the England international is said to be happy to remain at his boyhood club and fight for his place this season.

Spurs Web Opinion

I do not think it is been the £5m difference in valuation that is the stumbling block. The issue probably is the club’s inability to get Hojbjerg out of the door. Unless something drastically changes over the next few hours regarding the Dane, it would seem that Tottenham’s pursuit of Gallagher is over.

The post Report: Bad news for Tottenham in pursuit of Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Conor Gallagher prefers to stay at Chelsea over Spurs

Gallagher would prefer to stay at Mauricio Pochettino’s outfit if he continues to feature regularly, but is realistic about his situation given the recent transfer activity.

Before a possible deal can be completed, Spurs would first need to see some players head out of the exit with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg having been linked with a move to Fulham.

SpursWeb Opinion

As things stand, Hojbjerg’s stubbornness over a new destination could hamper the Gallagher deal. Historically, Spurs and Chelsea have not done a lot of business in recent times, this one could go down to the wire.

According to Sky Sports’ latest update, Spurs are also trying to bolster their central midfield department by getting a deal for Gallagher across the line.

The report claims that Tottenham have been in contact with Chelsea over a late deal for the England international.

The North London club have allegedly communicated their intention to make an offer for the 23-year-old once they offload a couple of their players.

Spurs Web Opinion

Chelsea could be tempted into selling Gallagher

The Telegraph have now stated that Chelsea could be tempted to cash in on their academy graduate after having agreed a £45m deal with Manchester City to sign Cole Palmer.

The report asserts that Spurs are indeed weighing up a late offer for Gallagher. However, it is explained that the Blues had turned down a £40m bid from West Ham for the player earlier this summer.

So, the outlet suggests that Tottenham might have to offer around £50m for the midfielder to give Chelsea something to think about.

Spurs Web Opinion

Postecoglou appears to be a fan of Gallagher and I would not be surprised if Tottenham do test the waters with a late offer for the 23-year-old.

However, it remains to be seen if Pochettino would want to let the England international go, given that he has started all four matches for the club this season.

Conor Gallagher now hints at a Chelsea stay

However, Mauricio Pochettino seemingly sent a clear message about Gallagher’s future by offering the midfielder the captain’s armband for the Carabao Cup clash against Wimbledon.

Following the win, the Blues Academy graduate made it clear that he wants to continue doing well for the West London club.

Gallagher said (via The Metro): “I don’t want to stop, I want to keep improving, keep helping the club. It was a great moment tonight [captaining the team] and hopefully many more.

“Everyone’s playing well, obviously a lot of top midfielders [have joined the club], but I’m just playing with quite a lot of confidence at the minute, I feel fit and strong.

“It’s great to have a great squad that we have for this season, it’s really important to help us win games. I’m happy with how it’s going so far for myself, I want to keep improving and keep helping the team get more wins.”

Spurs Web Opinion

With Gallagher now looking set to stay at Chelsea, it remains unclear which midfielder Spurs will target if Hojbjerg completes a move to Atletico Madrid. I doubt Postecoglou would want to let the Dane leave this late in the window without having a replacement lined up.

If The Times’ latest update is to be believed, an opportunity has now opened up for Tottenham to complete a late deal for the England international as he has now been put in the shop window by the West London club.

It is alleged that Chelsea are now ready to listen to offers for Gallagher as new signings Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia are expected to move ahead of the 23-year-old in Mauricio Pochettino’s pecking order.

The publication alleges that Spurs are ‘likely to step up’ their pursuit of the midfielder if they can offload Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

It now appears quite unlikely that Hojbjerg is going to depart before Friday evening’s transfer deadline, with Atletico’s interest seemingly going quiet while Man Utd appear to be prioritising a deal for Sofyan Amrabat. So, a late move for Gallager does not seem to be on the cards for Spurs.
