Tottenham Hotspur reportedly have no plans to make a late approach for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher on deadline day.

Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly not be making any late approach for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

The North Londoners have enjoyed a strong January transfer window, bringing in defender Radu Dragusin and forward Timo Werner.

However, despite Ange Postecoglou insisting earlier this week that further arrivals are unlikely, Spurs have continued to be credited with an interest in other players.

Speculation linking Gallagher with a switch to Spurs has not gone away despite the England international having been a mainstay in Mauricio Pochettino's starting lineup.

Gallagher has started all but one of Chelsea's 22 Premier League fixtures this campaign, with the only game he missed being down to a one-match suspension.

Nevertheless, as a result of his contract being due to expire in 2025, co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital are ready to do business for the right price.

On Gallagher's part, though, there is no desire to leave Stamford Bridge at the present time, even if Spurs or another club were willing to pay in excess of £40m.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have no intention of trying to tempt Chelsea into a sale or Gallagher into a controversial move on deadline day.

Although Romano adds that Postecoglou is an admirer of the player, any potential approach will be left until after the end of the season.

The report comes just hours after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg reiterated previous claims from his lawyer that he would be remaining at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

From Chelsea's perspective, it leaves them in a position where they will be hoping that a club is prepared to meet their demands for either Armando Broja or Trevoh Chalobah.

Chelsea are said to be prepared to consider a straight loan for £5m for Broja after Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers indicated that they would not agree to an obligation to buy in the summer.

Meanwhile, Chalobah is reportedly content to see out 2023-24 with his boyhood club unless a team in Europe or competing for continental qualification put forward a proposal in the closing hours of business.
