The report further claims that Spurs are ready to step up their efforts to sign the midfielder and are ready to submit a formal offer worth around £40 million. So, it looks like Postecoglou's team is looking to close this deal early this summer.
Soccer insider information He also claims that Chelsea could be willing to cash in on the Englishman as he is about to enter the final year of his current contract and his departure will be pure gain for the club as he is a homegrown talent.
However, the report says that Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also planning a raid for Gallagher, so Tottenham will face stiff competition from the Magpies to secure any potential deal for him.
