As the summer transfer window heats up, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly willing to take a £40 million gamble on Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher. According to sources, the North London club is interested in signing the 24-year-old English international, who has been impressive in the Premier League.
With Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso expected to leave, Gallagher could be the perfect fit for Ange Postecoglou’s style of play. His ability to control the midfield and create scoring opportunities would be a valuable asset for the Lilywhites.

However, Chelsea is holding out for a higher fee, with a reported £50 million valuation. Tottenham is hoping to negotiate a deal closer to £40 million, considering Gallagher’s contract runs out in 2025. The Blues are aware that they risk losing him for free next season, which could prompt them to lower their asking price.
In other transfer news, Crystal Palace is considering selling young winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi to Southampton. The 21-year-old has struggled to break into the Eagles’ first team, and a permanent exit could be on the cards.
Rak-Sakyi’s future at Selhurst Park has been uncertain, and Palace might be tempted to sell him for a solid offer. The player’s age and inexperience make him an unlikely starter for Patrick Vieira’s team, and a move to the Saints could benefit both parties.

As the transfer window heats up, expect more exciting deals to unfold. Will Tottenham land their £40 million man, or will Chelsea hold out for a better offer? Only time will tell.
The Future of Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace has already sold Michael Olise this summer, but more exits could be on the horizon. Marc Guehi and Ebere Eze are attracting interest from other clubs, and even Odsonne Édouard might be on the move.
The Eagles are preparing for an ambitious 2024/25 season, but they must navigate the transfer market wisely to avoid losing their best talents.
