Report suggests Spurs are leading London rivals in race for 23-year-old 

The Athletic have now indicated that Tottenham Hotspur are currently showing more interest in Conor Gallagher than their London rivals, West Ham United.

Spurs Web has relayed a whole host of reports over the last two weeks which has suggested that Chelsea are ready to cash in on Gallagher and use the funds to sign a top-quality centre-forward (Daily Mail).

Various sources have claimed that Tottenham are watching the 23-year-old’s situation closely, with Ange Postecoglou alleged to be a big fan of the England international (Fabrizio Romano – Daily Briefing).

Last week, we relayed a report by TEAMtalk, which stated that Spurs could face competition from West Ham and Man Utd for the Chelsea star’s signature.

Spurs showing particular interest in Gallagher

The Athletic have now reported that Chelsea hope to raise a ‘sizeable fee’ from Gallagher’s sale next month but add that the Blues’ £40m valuation of the England international may put people off.

The outlet says that both West Ham and Spurs were keen on the midfielder in the past, adding that the Lilywhites, in particular, are continuing to watch the player’s situation closely.

Spurs Web Opinion

I do not think Tottenham would allow West Ham or even Man Utd to steal a march on them for Gallagher.  The 23-year-old was identified as a target by Postecoglou in the summer and I fully expect Spurs to pay £40m or how much ever Chelsea are demanding, even though the midfielder only has 18 months left on his contract.
