According to the Independent, Tottenham Hotspur are focusing on signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea after signing Radu Dragusin from Genoa.
The 23-year-old has impressed Mauricio Pochettino this season and Chelsea fans are urging the club to keep him at Stamford Bridge.
The deal could cost a staggering £50 million, but there are other issues that could complicate matters. In Mauricio Pochettino’s tactical plans, Gallagher has become an important player in such orientations and has secured the manager’s trust as one of those players who fit perfectly into his 4-3-3 system.
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Conor Gallagher.
Gallagher enjoys more responsibility at Chelsea, having led the team as captain while Reece James and Ben Chilwell were unavailable.
Postecoglou seems to want a centre forward who would provide the team with a lot of dynamism and energy. Gallagher is an active central midfielder who makes a lot of turnovers on the pitch. He can be a great midfield player and will easily switch positions with James Maddison when needed.
Despite a potentially tempting offer from Spurs, Chelsea may reject their approach as Pochettino is reluctant to part with the player due to a period of inconsistency at the club.
Dragusin’s transfer was virtually finalised on Wednesday night after protracted negotiations, with Genoa initially refusing to budge from their firm price. If Spurs manage to secure another high-profile transfer from a rival club, it will undoubtedly be a pleasing prospect for the fans.
