Tottenham Hotspur have now confirmed their first signing of the winter window, with Conor Gallagher officially becoming a Lilywhite.

Gallagher has since opened up on his move to Tottenham Hotspur, expressing excitement and delight about being a Tottenham player.
Conor Gallagher’s Tottenham shirt number confirmed
Gallagher’s shirt number at Spurs has now been revealed following his move from Spain to England.
The new Spurs signing is set to take up the number 22 shirt, a number once worn by cult hero Brennan Johnson, who was moved on earlier in the transfer window to fellow London side Crystal Palace.
The Welshman is fondly remembered at Tottenham as the player who ended the club’s nearly two-decade wait for silverware after his toe poke last year in Bilbao, Spain, in the Europa League final.
What Gallagher must now prove at Spurs
Gallagher does have big boots to fill, and Thomas Frank has no doubts about his new signing, having highlighted several on and off-field qualities the 25-year-old possesses.
The Englishman must now show what he is made of, as Spurs look to turn around a dismal first half of the campaign from here on.
Tottenham’s next encounter is not too far away, with a clash against West Ham United on 17 January at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and it remains to be seen whether the former Atletico Madrid man will make the matchday squad.
