HITC say that while Tottenham target Conor Gallagher wants to remain at Chelsea, the Blues have not offered the midfielder a new contract yet.

Although Gallagher has been a mainstay under Mauricio Pochettino this season, his future continues to be up in the air as he is about to year the final year of his contract in June.

HITC say that the midfielder’s preference is to remain at his boyhood club and he has signalled that he is ready to pen a new contract.

However, while talks have taken place between the 23-year-old and the West London club, a new contract offer has not been made so far.

Tottenham are still lurking for Conor Gallagher

The outlet says that plenty of clubs, including Spurs, are closely following the situation, with the Lilywhites thought to be joined by the likes of West Ham and Newcastle in the race for the England international’s signature.

This report comes a couple of days after Football Insider claimed that the Lilywhites are continuing to show ‘concrete interest’ in Gallagher as they are aware that Chelsea need to sell players in the summer in order to comply with the Premier League’s financial rules.

Given Chelsea’s financial situation, they might not be in a position to offer Gallagher the bumper salary that he is expecting. It might be in the player’s interest to wait until after the Euros as he might be in an even stronger bargaining position if he does well for England in the tournament.
