Update On Tottenham Hotspur And Their Pursuit Of This Atletico Madrid Ace: Good Option For Frank? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes offered an update on Tottenham Hotspur and their pursuit of Atletico Madrid ace Conor Gallagher this summer. It is understood that Spurs are prepared to launch a €50m move to sign the English midfielder this summer.

Gallagher’s Decent Form In La Liga

The 25-year-old enjoyed a good campaign at the Wanda Metropolitano recently after he produced a series of eye-catching displays at the heart of Diego Simeone’s midfield. Gallagher found the back of the net four times and earned six assists in 50 appearances for Atletico Madrid last season in all competitions.

The English talent offered decent protection for his teammates at the back as he made 45 tackles, 23 blocks and 20 interceptions in La Liga. He was even tidy when distributing possession from midfield, based on his pass completion rate of 85% in the top tier of Spanish football (stats via fbref.com).

Gallagher’s current contract at the Spanish club will run out in the summer of 2029. Thus, Spurs would have to make a convincing offer if they want to get a deal done for him.

Is Gallagher A Good Option For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank?

Gallagher is a solid tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to make some important interceptions for his team at the centre of the park. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and is a good passer of the ball as well.

The English talent can even chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from midfield. He has got plenty of experience in the Premier League and is well-equipped to make an immediate impact at the North London club.

Gallagher would bring more energy and dynamism to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank’s midfield. He is more than capable of securing a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.

At 25, Gallagher has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a good option for Spurs to consider in this transfer window. Therefore, it makes sense for Frank to try everything in his power to lure him to North London ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
