North London club are looking at midfield options as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been targeted by Atletico Madrid and clubs in Germany
Tottenham have Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher in their sights as Ange Postecoglou’s squad starts to take shape ahead of the new season.
Spurs are looking at midfield options as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been targeted by Atletico Madrid and clubs in Germany, with Gallagher emerging as a contender to compete for a place under Postecoglou.
The new manager at Tottenham has brought in James Maddison, has Tanguy Ndombele returning from his Napoli loan and young midfielders in Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar Sarr, with Rodrigo Bentancur recovering from a serious knee injury. Hojbjerg was the mainstay of Tottenham’s midfield last season and his departure would need a player to come in with the box-to-box energy of Gallagher.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is an admirer of Gallagher and a move will come down to whether he is deemed a player who can be sold this summer. There has been previous interest from Newcastle United, who have since signed Sandro Tonali in that position, and he has been linked with Aston Villa.
