Tottenham fans react to shock Conor Gallagher transfer as price tag is revealed
Tottenham Hotspur fans are divided over the potential signing of Conor Gallagher as the club moves closer to securing a deal.
It has been a rollercoaster last couple of hours for Tottenham Hotspur, who are in desperate need of midfield reinforcement given their injury crisis.
Their search for a Rodrigo Bentancur replacement led them to former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, who secured a move to Atletico Madrid back in 2024 and has since struggled for game time.
Atletico are open to selling or loaning Gallagher, while Spurs have expressed interest and have even submitted a bid worth £34.7m, which is expected to be accepted by Atletico, with the 25-year-old said to be keen on a move to north London.
Tottenham fans react as Spurs accelerate Conor Gallagher plans
Tottenham fans have now taken to social media to share their thoughts on the midfielder and whether he is the right fit for the club, with opinions split on the former Chelsea man.
Reacting to the latest developments, one supporter said: “He’s really not a bad player imo, he’s good. But is he really what this squad requires? Nope.”
Another added: “Benta replacement, I guess. Not really the passer we need tho lol.”
Further opinions followed, with one Tottenham fan stating: “I’ll be honest. Good player, but not sure about the fit. If he’s seen as a replacement for one of our current guys like Bentancur or Palhinha I don’t mind it. If he’s the only addition I’m not sure he was the right one.”
Another contributed: “Good player, decent price, I feel like we should be prioritising a winger tho.”
One Tottenham supporter added: “I mean, he realistically is better than Bentancur, but doesn’t revolutionise our midfield like a Ruben Neves would. Hopefully, we don’t stop with him and add another starting midfielder.”
While another concluded: “Still need a progressive passer desperately, but he’s better than Benta and Palhinha.”
Spurs’ lack of midfield depth makes Gallagher signing crucial
The mixed reaction from Spurs fans is valid and highlights just how much work needs to be done on the current squad if they are to compete in the second half of the season following a horrid first half.
Tottenham are now short in the pivot role following Rodrigo Bentancur’s long-term injury and are one more setback away from a full-on crisis in that position, with Archie Gray and Palhinha currently the only fit options, especially with Pape Sarr still on AFCON duties.
Lucas Bergvall could do a job there, but he is injured, and that makes the potential signing of Gallagher all the more significant.
