An England international, who has been approached by Tottenham Hotspur, has now made a final decision on his future.
According to reports, discussions are ongoing at Spurs about adding another central midfielder to their squad in January.
Some sources have reported that Tottenham have made advances towards Conor Gallagher, who has fallen out of favour at Atletico Madrid this season.
Last month, Gallagher admitted that he is not happy with his game time at Atletico, and it has now emerged that the midfielder has made a decision on his future ahead of January.
Tottenham target Conor Gallagher is ready to leave Atletico Madrid
TEAMtalk now say that several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, have spoken to the former Chelsea man’s representatives about a move to England in January.
The 25-year-old has started just four league games and three Champions League matches for Diego Simeone’s men this season.
It is revealed that Gallagher is now ‘ready to move in January’ in order to give himself the best chance of making the England squad for next summer’s World Cup.
The midfielder’s camp have been in contact with Thomas Tuchel and the England coaching staff, who have told the player that he is in contention for the World Cup squad, but needs to play regularly to get into the final 26-man list.

TEAMtalk say that Gallagher still believes that he has a future at Atletico over the long term and is happy at the Spanish capital.
He is open to a loan move away from the club in January so that he can get regular game time during the second half of the season.
It is not just Tottenham Hotspur who are speaking to Gallagher’s intermediaries, with Man United, Newcastle United, Everton and West Ham also keen on bringing him back to the Premier League.
