Fabrizio Romano’s report may indicate Tottenham’s final bid to sign Conor Gallagher

Tottenham Hotspur may find an unexpected opportunity to secure Conor Gallagher from Chelsea, following a hiccup in his anticipated move to Atletico Madrid.

The deal, which seemed all but finalized, has recently faced complications, potentially opening the door for Spurs to swoop in with a late bid.

Gallagher was set to join Atletico Madrid in a £34 million deal. However, this transfer’s success hinges on Chelsea's ability to sign a player from Atletico in exchange.

Joao Felix, the Portuguese forward, is at the center of these negotiations, according to Fabrizio Romano. Chelsea is keen on bringing Felix back to Stamford Bridge, but this has been complicated by interest from other clubs, including Aston Villa.

With these negotiations now in flux, the future of Gallagher’s move to Spain is uncertain.

Tottenham, who have been closely monitoring Gallagher throughout the summer, might see this as a prime opportunity to re-enter the race.

Spurs have long admired Gallagher for his performances last season, where he played 37 Premier League matches for Chelsea, scoring five goals and providing seven assists.

His dynamic, box-to-box style of play makes him an ideal fit for Tottenham's midfield and manager Ange Postecoglou’s high-intensity approach.

The uncertainty surrounding Gallagher’s move to Atletico Madrid has given Tottenham a chance to consider making a competitive offer. If Spurs match Atletico’s £34 million bid, they could persuade Chelsea to sell Gallagher to them instead.

Adding Gallagher would provide a significant boost to Tottenham’s midfield options, giving Postecoglou a versatile and energetic player capable of influencing games on both ends of the pitch.

Tottenham will be keeping a close eye on things. If the Chelsea-Atletico Madrid deal falls through, Spurs could jump in and make a play for Gallagher, giving him a chance to stay in the Premier League and play a big role at Tottenham.

With the clock ticking down on the transfer window, the next few weeks could see Tottenham seize the opportunity to strengthen their squad with Gallagher, should Atletico's deal fall through.
