Tottenham have enjoyed a stellar campaign this season and are almost certain to qualify for Europe next season. Spurs will therefore need a suitable squad to achieve success in all competitions next season.
Although the engine room is an area where the Lilywhites are well stocked at the moment, they could look to sign a new option if they opt to cash in on any of their current options.
Gallagher is a highly talented player and could be an ideal choice to play in Ange Postecoglou's high-pressure style of football. So, the Chelsea star could be a big coup for Tottenham if they acquire him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club can lure Gallagher to the newly refurbished White Hart Lane if he eventually leaves Chelsea at the end of this season.
Meanwhile, following a crucial win over Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend, Spurs will face Wolverhampton Wanderers this Saturday. Postecoglou's team will therefore be desperate to win the game against Gary O'Neil's team to continue their charge into the top four.
