Conor Gallagher is reportedly the ‘dream signing’ of one of Chelsea’s big rivals.
The Cobham graduate is enjoying an exceptional season at Chelsea and has emerged as a key man for Mauricio Pochettino.
Despite this, questions surround the England internationals future with only a year remaining on his current deal come the summer.
The 24 year old has made it very clear that he doesn’t want to leave the club and Pochettino is also keen on him extending his stay at Stamford Bridge but there have yet to be any serious talks regarding a new deal.
Rivals Tottenham have been linked with a move for Gallagher as they look to add another number eight to their squad.
Journalist Dean Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that Spurs consider the Chelsea midfielder their ‘dream number eight’ signing.
He said: “Tottenham are absolutely convinced that he’s the kind of dream number eight that they’re after. So from a playing style, and personality on the pitch, Conor Gallagher really does fit the ethos of where they want to take this team.”
“I’d say things that go against it at the moment are the fact that Conor Gallagher is Chelsea through and through and that does sometimes play into whether a player would be willing to join a certain team. I’m not ruling out that he would join Tottenham, but it’s something to consider.”
The former Crystal Palace loanee has been ever present for Chelsea this season playing 24 out of their 25 Premier League games and has provided three goals and six assists across 33 appearances in an all competitions.
