The Times claim that Tottenham Hotspur have no intention of meeting Chelsea’s asking price for Conor Gallagher this summer.
Tottenham are linked with Conor Gallagher
Most Spurs fans will be tired of the Gallagher speculation by now, with rumours linking him with a move to Tottenham going strong over the past 12 months.
With the midfielder now into the final year of his deal at Chelsea, Ange Postecoglou’s men might see this summer as the ideal time to make a move for the England international.
However, over the last few weeks, several outlets have revealed that the 24-year-old is not keen on leaving his boyhood club this summer and that Chelsea are coming around to the idea of handing him a new deal if he rejects a move (HITC).
Spurs will not pay £50m for Gallagher
The Times have now backed up what we have heard from other sources by stating that Chelsea are open to cashing in on Gallagher but they value their academy graduate at £50m.
The report adds that while Tottenham remain keen on signing the midfielder, they have no intention of meeting the Blues’ valuation of the player.
The report does not mention how high Spurs are willing to go for Gallagher this summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
By the sounds of it, Tottenham are ready to abandon their pursuit of Gallagher unless Chelsea are willing to drop their price significantly.
One would still expect Spurs to test the waters with an offer of around £35m or so over the coming weeks but if that is turned down, the Lilywhites will likely swiftly turn their attention to other alternatives.
