Tottenham Hotspur are on the cusp of completing a £35m move for Conor Gallagher, the 25-year-old midfielder currently plying his trade at Atletico Madrid. The North London club had been in the running to sign the England international, but Aston Villa appeared poised to land him on an initial loan deal with options to make it permanent.
However, Tottenham have since moved ahead of Villa by expressing a willingness to meet Atletico's valuation, which appears to be around £35m. Gallagher has not yet agreed personal terms with Spurs, but that is understood to be a formality.
A move back to the Premier League for Gallagher could boost his chances of breaking into Thomas Tuchel's England squad for this summer's World Cup, having only played once under the German so far. Tottenham are looking to add to their midfield options after Rodrigo Bentancur was ruled out for at least three months due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Premier League defeat at Bournemouth last week.
Gallagher will hope a move back to the Premier League allows him to get his transfer ambitions off the ground, having been one of the most sought-after players in European football since leaving Chelsea on loan.

. They're willing to meet Atletico's price for Conor Gallagher and it could give them a boost in midfield 
. With Rodrigo out, they need someone who can step up and I think Gallagher could be that guy 
. Plus, playing in the Premier League could help him get back into the England squad which would be awesome for his career 
.
Maybe it's because he's an England international and Spurs want to boost their chances of getting into the World Cup squad 
.
. And now that Rodrigo's out injured, this is just what they needed 
. Fingers crossed he can stay fit and not get too many red cards 
️!
and it looks like they're serious about making a move 
tuchel needs some quality midfield options ASAP 
. And honestly, I feel bad for Aston Villa because they had a good shot at signing him too... but Spurs are like "nope, we got this" 
. This just shows how much we love football and want to see the best players succeed 
. Oh and by the way, I hope our school's team can learn from Conor Gallagher's moves on the pitch 
.
. And let's be real, who doesn't want to see Conor Gallagher in the Tottenham jersey again? 
I'm so down for Spurs to sign Gallagher! He's always had so much potential and it's crazy he's still waiting for a big move. £35m is a decent price tag, but trust me, it'll be worth it when he's dominating the pitch for Spurs 
. It's time to bring him back to England and see what he can do 
!
. It's crazy that Aston Villa were gonna snap him up first, but now Spurs are leading the charge 
! Do you guys think he'll break into the England squad?
tuchel should defo give him more playing time tho, hes been waitin 4 ages 2 break into the england squad 
i mean who doesnt wanna c gallagher doin his thang on the pitch lol
