Conor Gallagher, a midfielder for Chelsea, is still being connected to Tottenham Hotspur, despite the expectation that he will remain with his current team.
Although the 23-year-old is anticipated to stay at Stamford Bridge, the Blues have set a price for him in light of Spurs’ strong interest.
Ryan Taylor of the Daily Mirror reports that Chelsea has set a valuation of up to £60 million on the midfield player and is open to receiving proposals for him during the January transfer window.
Spurs are reportedly in talks with Chelsea to finalize a deal to sign Gallagher, according to a recent report from Football Insider.
The footballer is apparently keen to stay in West London despite this development. Similar ideas are shared by Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, who wants to develop the team around him.
This season, Conor Gallagher has been a key player for Chelsea, and manager Mauricio Pochettino has recognized his importance and dedication to the team’s principles.
Given that Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma will be out for several weeks owing to the AFCON and that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is anticipated to depart the team, Tottenham clearly needs to strengthen their midfield.
Furthermore, Gallagher would be a fantastic addition to the team even though a trade for him this month seems improbable.
