HERE WE GO: Tottenham has reached agreement with player and club, paper work complete

Conor Gallagher deal and £25m wonderkid signs – Tottenham’s dream end to transfer window

Tottenham has already had a successful January transfer window, acquiring players who have made significant improvements to Ange Postecoglou’s team. While Timo Werner’s loan acquisition was a wise move, Radu Dragusin’s permanent arrival will ensure that there are choices in the area should Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven miss any more games.

In order to complete his ideal starting 11 for the second half of the season, Postecoglou may want to add one or two more players, as he hasn’t ruled out Spurs making a late Premier League title push. Daniel Levy will support the Australian, providing proof that the club is spending its money well following a productive summer window.

Conor Gallagher signs

With the addition of Werner and Dragusin, focus may now go to Spurs’ midfield. Since the summer, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s departure has been speculated about, and it would open the door for a late chase of Conor Gallagher.

Chelsea is expected to demand a high price for their vice captain, which is estimated to be close to £40 million. Gallagher came via the Blues system, thus his departure would be pure profit for the team as a whole. This would assist the Stamford Bridge administration offset spending that appears positive on the team’s financial statements.

This is the reason Chelsea is willing to let Gallagher go, even if he has been an important player for Mauricio Pochettino this season. In the last nine days of the transfer window, Spurs may be able to capitalize on the circumstances.

By the end of the winter, Spurs will have no shortage of midfield players, as Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma will be back from the Africa Cup of Nations in the upcoming weeks. However, the arrival of Gallagher would definitely catapult the north Londoners, who are sixth, back among the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.

The 23-year-old is a prototypical Postecoglou midfielder because of his pressing skills and dynamism. He would also provide leadership skills to a young club that has lost two of its biggest players in the last six months in Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris. He now serves as Chelsea’s captain.

There were questions after Gallagher was left out of Chelsea’s starting lineup for their Carabao Cup semifinal against Middlesbrough on Tuesday. Some with doubts could interpret it as Pochettino preparing for life beyond the former Crystal Palace loanee.
