Alan Hutton backs Spurs to make move for Conor Gallagher alternative

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Alan Hutton believes that the club should look to move for a new midfielder this summer.

Hutton believes a move for Man Utd player would be good business

Following the departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to Marseille on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy, Tottenham are currently one senior midfielder short within their ranks.

Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher in recent weeks, however, a deal has failed to materialise as of yet (GiveMeSport).

Another player to said to be on Tottenham’s radar this summer is Scotland and Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

The Sun claimed earlier this month that Tottenham were looking to rival Fulham to land the 27-year-old, with United wanting at least £40m before they even consider selling him.

Hutton backs Tottenham move for Scott McTominay

Hutton believes that McTominay’s style would be a good fit for what Ange Postecoglou demands from his players.

He told Football Insider: “I think it would suit him because he’s high energy, and that’s when you get the best of him.

“You see from Scotland games when he’s allowed to burst forward when he’s allowed to get forward, he can score goals and he can assist.

“He can close down, he wins the ball back high up the pitch and I think that’s what Ange likes.

“You see him doing it a lot for Scotland, he doesn’t do it as much for Manchester United because he’s being asked to play a different type of way.

“Fees, it’s going to be probably £30million or above, with the experience that he’s got, he’s still at a decent age he’s got a lot of football in him.

“He gives you something else.

“We talk about Conor Gallagher and how much he’s worth, and he’s a little bit younger to be fair, but Scott McTominay gives you the same kind of attributes as well.

“He would be a real good addition to an Ange team and he would fit in seamlessly.”

When a transfer fee in the region of £40million is being mentioned for Scott McTominay and Tottenham already have Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray looking to prove themselves next season, that amount of money would be best put towards a move for the likes of Eberechi Eze.
