Spurs to swoop for Gallagher as soon as transfer window opens

Tottenham are preparing an early bid for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, as Ange Postecoglou looks to strengthen his squad for Champions League next season.

Chelsea are going to have to offload several players this summer to avoid FFP punishment and comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules after massively overspending during Todd Boehly ownership of the club.

The Blues are expected to slap a £40m price tag on their 24-year-old midfielder but Spurs will be happy to pay that to get their man.
