Report: Spurs prioritising player sales before making next midfield signing

According to Sky Sports’ Transfer Centre, Tottenham Hotspur are expected to prioritise player sales before they make a move for their next summer signing.

Conor Gallagher to Atletico Madrid

Over the last 24 hours, several outlets have revealed that Atletico Madrid are now close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea for the transfer of Gallagher, with the talks between the two clubs thought to be in the final stages.

This information was also carried by The Athletic, who suggested that the development comes as a blow to Spurs since the 24-year-old has been a long-term target.

However, it seems the Lilywhites want to wait for player sales before they make a move for their next target, whoever that may be.

Spurs were expected to bid for Gallagher

Sky Sports have suggested that Atletico still do not have an agreement in place with Chelsea and that the La Liga side are aware Spurs are also circling.

In fact, it is explained that Chelsea expect Tottenham to enter the race and make an offer for the England international.

The outlet adds that at the moment, Postecoglou’s men are prioritising outgoings first before they push ahead with a move for their own targets.

This makes it sound like Chelsea want to wait and see what sort of offer Tottenham make for Gallagher.

However, one would have thought that the West London club would prefer to sell the player abroad than to a direct rival.
