Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher has linked his return to the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur ready to sign him.
According to Football Insider, the midfielder is valued at £40 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham is willing to pay.
Spurs are long-term worshipers
They tried to sign Morgan Gibbs White of Nottingham Forest earlier this summer, but the player decided to sign a new contract with the club.
They have tried to sign Gallagher in the past, but it will be interesting to see if they can bring the former Chelsea midfielder back to England. The 25-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes to make it work for Tottenham. He could be a great acquisition.
Spurs need Conor Gallagher
They need more physicality, defensive cover and drive in the middle of the park. England International could be the ideal acquisition for them. He is at the peak of his career and he is well aware of the Premier League. Gallagher could have an immediate impact in Tottenham. The opportunity to join the Champions League club is exciting for players as well.
Tottenham has the resources to pay the asking price, and Gallagher has the qualities that justify investments as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Tottenham hopes to do well in the Premier League next season after finishing near the last relegation zone. They need quality signatures to bounce back.
They managed to win the UEFA Europa League last season. It remains to be seen whether Gallagher is ready to join in the coming weeks.
