Tottenham managers are working on the transfer of Conor Gallagher from Chelsea. According to the English media, Tottenham has no intention of giving up on its target, and within the team's camp there is a belief that the agreement can be reached even within the January market.
Tottenham first announced their interest in Gallagher in the summer of last year. At that time, West Ham was also another club interested in the player's card. However, since then, Conor has become a regular starter in manager Mauricio Pochettino's side, while also picking up the captain's armband in the absence of Reece James, who is injured.
However, Chelsea could let Gallagher leave considering the financial benefits of his transfer. In the event that the operation is carried out, Chelsea will count as a profit all the income that it will benefit, since the player has come from the club's academy, and the deal will not be affected by any kind of Financial Fair Play rules. Gallagher's contract could also be another factor favoring a potential transfer. The player's current deal with the club expires in the summer of 2025. This means that Chelsea could risk losing the player for nothing, which would be a huge loss for the London Blues.
Furthermore, should Conor leave, it would not be the first time Chelsea have sold one of their players to rival Premier League clubs. Mason Mount joined Manchester United last summer, while Kai Havertz joined Arsenal. As for Gallagher's desire, the midfielder has indicated that he still wants to be part of Chelsea, but that could change depending on the progress of the club.
