Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on Conor Gallagher’s transfer situation as his potential move to Atletico Madrid encounters unexpected delays.

The Chelsea midfielder has been a hot topic in the summer transfer window, with Tottenham and Arsenal both expressing strong interest in acquiring his services.

Last month, Chelsea reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid, accepting a transfer offer for Gallagher. The deal appeared to be moving forward smoothly, with Gallagher even traveling to Spain to finalize the transfer.

However, the process has since stalled, leaving the midfielder back in London and creating uncertainty about his immediate future.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Gallagher’s return to London is a clear sign that the transfer has hit a snag.

While the agreement between Gallagher and Atletico Madrid included provisions for medical exams and the necessary documentation, the final signatures from the Spanish club are still pending.

This delay opens the door for other interested parties, including Tottenham, to potentially step in and secure Gallagher’s services.

Gallagher is in the final year of his contract with Chelsea, which expires next June. This situation puts Chelsea in a vulnerable position, as they risk losing Gallagher for free if a transfer is not completed before his contract ends.

Complicating matters further, Chelsea is said to be interested in Atletico’s Joao Felix, which might affect the ongoing negotiations between the two teams.

For Tottenham, this uncertainty is a great chance to boost their midfield. Even with recent signings like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, Spurs are eager to bring Gallagher on board.

His lively playing style and knack for making a difference on the field make him a top pick for manager Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham is keeping a close eye on Gallagher’s transfer situation and is ready to jump in if anything changes. They’re all set to move fast if the opportunity comes up.
