Conor Gallagher 'to clear medical' amid Tottenham transfer twist
Tottenham are reportedly keen on signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer.
Injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar has assessed his fitness over the 2024/25 season ahead of a potential medical.
The England international left Chelsea last summer and enjoyed a good first season in LaLiga.
Gallagher expected to clear his medical
The 25-year-old is expected to pass his medical if it gets to that stage this summer, according to Dr Brar.
This comes as Give Me Sport reported that Spurs have already made an approach to secure his services.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Yellow Cards | Red Cards | Minutes Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LaLiga | 32 | 3 | 3 | 2 | - | 1,633' |
| UEFA Champions League | 9 | 1 | 1 | - | - | 468' |
| Copa del Rey | 6 | - | 2 | 1 | - | 345' |
| FIFA Club World Cup | 3 | - | - | 1 | - | 97' |
| Total | 50 | 4 | 6 | 4 | - | 2,543' |
Discussing the state of play with Gallagher exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.
"He had no injury concerns and played 50 games in all competitions last season," he said.
"Add to that, his prior experience in the Premier League, makes this a low-risk transfer in terms of fitness and adaptability.
"I see him facing no issues in clearing his medical."
Tottenham should consider making a move for Gallagher
Gallagher had a decent stint at Chelsea before moving to Atletico Madrid, where he also impressed.
Frank is an admirer of midfielders who work hard out of possession and the England international fits the bill for the Dane.
While he may not be the best technically, he is a decent ball winner and box-to-box midfielder and will fit well into this Spurs system.
With Yves Bissouma likely to leave Tottenham, Gallagher could be a decent replacement for him.
It remains to be seen if the Madrid outfit would be willing to part ways with him as he's become a key player under Diego Simeone.
