Football Insider report that Spurs are expected to submit a bid for Conor Gallagher within the next two weeks as they look to reinforce their midfield department.
The Lilywhites are said to be ‘biding their time’ before sending over an offer to Chelsea, but Gallagher will likely be included in the final England squad for the Euros this month.
Although Aston Villa have also made contact with Chelsea and may be willing to include Jhon Duran in a deal for Gallagher, the report claims Spurs are still very much in pursuit.
As such, we could see a frantic race to sign the England international over the next fortnight in order to wrap up the signing before the European Championships gets into full swing.
Tottenham expected to bid for Conor Gallagher soon
This comes after multiple reports in the past 48 hours have revealed that Aston Villa started preliminary talks with Chelsea over a potential deal for Gallagher (The Athletic).
The Blues are keen to cash in on their academy graduate this summer in order to comply with Profit and Sustainability rules, as homegrown players count as pure profit.
It appears we could see a formal bid from Spurs within the next 14 days.
Spurs Web Opinion:
Gallagher would be a great signing who perfectly fits into Postecoglou’s system, but there are two big problems. One, will Chelsea sell to Spurs if other parties are interested? And two, is Gallagher worth a £50m-plus price tag?
