Whatever the circumstances, The club’s largest question for the upcoming month, possibly the following six, and possibly longer due to the potentially larger ramifications for the club’s identity, culture, and operating style is Conor Gallagher’s contract status.
Gallagher‘s name was “circulated” among other Premier League clubs, as the Telegraph’s Matt Law reminded us the other day. Chelsea was reportedly quite willing to let him go in the summer, and teams like Tottenham, Everton, and Newcastle were all linked with possible bids, with Spurs reportedly coming closest to our £50 million asking price.
Even though Gallagher‘s name isn’t being actively shopped right now, rumours of our willingness to consider offers aren’t going away. Matt Law, speaking this time on the wonderful friends of the blog London Is Blue Podcast, claims that the situation isn’t nearly as dire as it once was. Actually, just the reverse.
For example, Sky Sports claimed yesterday that Spurs are once again (still) keeping an eye on the situation. Although midfield isn’t their first focus right now, they are undoubtedly keeping a watch on things.
That kind of speculation won’t end until Gallagher actually signs a new deal. He’d like to. Pochettino desires that the team do. However, as of yet, we haven’t noticed any legitimate desires from the club.
