Tottenham now reportedly want to sign 23-year-old player who Yaya Toure is a massive fan of

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly conside🐽ring a move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Galla🅰gher this summer, a player who Yaya Toure admires. 

Spurs look set to back Ange Postecoglou over the comi🦹ng weeks after they’ve already moved quickly during the early ℱstages of the transfer window. 

Tottenham have already snapped up Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison🎃 and Manor Solomon as Postecoglou goes about re-shaping his squad.

Spurs certainly won’t be finishing up their busin𒁃ess there, with the club set to look at defensive reinforcements a𒁃nd possibly another fresh face in midfield.

Indeed, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is facing an uncertain future at the club amid interest from Atletico Madrid. And reports that Connor Gallagher has emerged as a possible target to replace the Dane.

The outꦛlet notes that Chelsea are set to demand around £50 million for the England international.

Gallagher has struggled to nail down a place in Chelsea’s side after enjoy🍒ing a brilliant 2021-22 campaign on loan at Crystal Palace.

The 23-year-old bagged eight goals and provided three assists inꦗ the Premier League during his spell at Selhurst Park.

And he reportedly left former Tottenham 🐼academy co💛ach Yaya Touré impressed at the time.

Toure is a huge fan of Gallagher

In an interview with back in 2022, Toure named Gallagher and Manchester City star Rodri as the ‘first names he thinks of in ♍terms of midfielders who impress him right now.’

Of course, Toure recently left Tottenham to take up a role as assistant 🙈manager at Belgian ou💖tfit Standard Liege. 

But as one of the best midfielders in Premier League♊ history, it was high praise for Gallagher at the time.

Gallagher has been unable toꩵ recapture that form since moving back to Stamford Bridge. But it’s clear that he has huge poten🅘tial.

His tireless work-rate off the ball would go down well with Postecoglou and he’s already proven he can be an💃 effective player in the final third.

But it remains to be seen whether or not Tottenham will firm up their interest and given their reluctance to overspend on players so far this summer, it’s difficult to see them parting with £50 million for the Engli🦩shman.
