"It would be a hard deal to do. It's no surprise that there were some clubs sniffing around Gallagher in the summer. He's been in and out of the Atletico Madrid side, not played as many minutes as he would like in La Liga, but he did start in the Champions League against Liverpool. That makes it a difficult deal to do in January due to the fee involved and obviously Atletico would need to bring in a replacement for him as well."
"Thinking about Gallagher himself, would he want to move midway through the season, especially in a World Cup year as well? Again, that might be another thing that might have to come into the players thinking he might stay at Atletico Madrid where he is settled. As long as he's getting the minutes, I'm sure he'll be happy to stay there."
"As long as he's getting the minutes, I'm sure he'll be happy to stay there. The rest of this season is crucial for Gallagher in his efforts to be included in Thomas Tuchel's squad for the next World Cup, and it would be a risk to change clubs months before the tournament kicks off. In this regard, it makes sense for him to stay at Atletico, which would be bad news for Tottenham."
Tottenham continue to monitor Conor Gallagher but a January move appears improbable due to fee, Atletico's need for a replacement and Gallagher's own circumstances. Gallagher has had a mixed start at Atletico Madrid with inconsistent minutes despite a Champions League start. A mid-season transfer would carry risk in a World Cup year and Gallagher may prefer to remain where he is settled if he continues to play. The remainder of the season is pivotal for Gallagher's hopes of earning a place in Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad, making a move before the tournament unattractive.
