The Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick has said that although he can see Tottenham winning the race for Conor Gallagher, a move across London is certainly not imminent for the Chelsea star.
The Gallagher to Spurs rumours have been going strong for nearly a year now and Tottenham might view this summer as the ideal opportunity to get their man.
Not only is the midfielder set to enter the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge but he has also seen Mauricio Pochettino, the man who put a lot of trust in him, leave the club.
Several outlets over the last few weeks have indicated that the England international’s contract talks with Chelsea have completely stalled and the Lilywhites are in the driving seat to land the 24-year-old despite competition from other Premier League sides. (Football Insider).
However, Kilpatrick has now revealed that he has not heard of any concrete advances made by Tottenham in their pursuit of Gallagher.
When asked about the Chelsea star’s mooted switch to Spurs, the journalist said on The Tottenham Way Podcast: “Yeah I can certainly see it. I’ve not heard that he’s imminently due in at Spurs, I actually think it’s gone a bit quiet in the second half of the season since January, but I’ve said this before that it’s no surprise that the likes of Gallagher and Hudson-Odoi are being linked.”

One would expect Tottenham to begin talks with Chelsea over a deal for Gallagher over the coming days or weeks. With the Blues needing to raise funds before the end of June to comply with PSR, Spurs will feel that they can complete this deal quite early in the transfer window.
