Gallagher to Tottenham

“Chelsea are willing to ask for a fee in excess of £50m for Conor Gallagher this summer. “After the deal with Mount last summer, Chelsea see Gallagher in a similar position with Aston Villa, Tottenham and a foreign club interested in signing him.”
Gallagher is a dynamic midfielder and has already demonstrated his qualities in the first division. He can make passes between the lines, has the ability to contribute to some important goals, can create opportunities for attackers and also works extremely hard out of possession.
Postecoglou likes to play in a high-pressure system and the England international possesses the attributes necessary to thrive in that style of football. Therefore, he would be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham if they were to acquire him.
