However, they may have to sell a few players as the Blues are reportedly expecting £50million for the England mid fielder.
Gallagheris set to leave Stamford Bridge in January as the club look to raise funds to sign a striker and balance the books after spending more than £1billion since Todd Boehly took over 18 months ago.
Withhis contract running until 2025 and negotiations over a contract extension making no progress, Chelsea would prefer to sell the player next month while his value is still high.
However, Mauricio Pochettino is keen to keep the 23-year-old, who has played an important role in his side this season and is currently captain with Reece James and Ben Chilwell injured.
Tottenhamwere one of the clubs linked with Gallagher last summer and their interest has not waned as Ange Postecoglou looks to continue his impressive rebuild of the north London clubTottenham could sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to finance the signing of Gallagher And according to The Sun, Spurs’ plan to recruit Gallagher is to sell another midfielder in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Despitefeaturing in all but one of Tottenham’s games this season, the 28-year-old only started four times as his style of play did not suit Postecoglou’s vision.
TheDane was linked with a move last summer, United considered sending him out on loan and is now linked with Fulham and former club Bayern Munich.
Like Gallagher, Hojbjerg’s contract also expires in 2025 and Spurs are expected to be open to a sale, although they are currently light in midfield, with James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur injured and Yves Bissouma suspended.
