Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a productive summer transfer window having brought in four exciting players.

Dominic Solanke has just joined Spurs in a £65m deal following Archie Gray, Lucas Ber🥀gvall and Yang Min-hyuk through the door.

Ange Postecoglou, however, is🥀 still keen to brin🔯g in another midfielder and was desperately trying to sign one from the Premier League before the move broke down…

Ange Postecoglou really wanted Conor Gallagher

Tottenham have been linked to Chelsea midfielder Co🌼nor Gallagher for most of the summer transfer window.

It seemed Gallagher was on his way to Atletico Madrid earlier this week but that deal collapsed and hꦇe’s not back at Chelsea.

According to The Times, Tottenham were really pushing to sign♏ the England international before his proposed move to Madrid but they were put off by his £🐻45m price tag.

Despite agreeing a £33m deal with Atleti, Chelsea were insistent that Spurs would have to pay a premium if they wanted to take Gallagher, labelleꦗd as ‘amazing’ (), to North London.

As such, Daniel Levy evidently♍ pulled the transfer.

Conor Gallagher move could be back on

Now that ꧑Gallagher’s move to Madrid is off, perhaps Chelsea will soften their stance and allow him to join Tottenham for a reduced fee.

The West Londoners are clearly walking a PSR tightrope due to their substantial spendi🌳ng, so they’ll wanཧt to offload the 23-year-old this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer in a year’s time.

Gallagher has already been told he won’ꦦt be part of the senior leadership team at Chel𓂃sea and Enzo Maresca is expected to make hiꦅm a squad player.
