Fabrizio Romano believes this.
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham made a £40 million bid for Conor Gallagher, but the Italian journalist has denied this. “Understand Tottenham did not send any formal bid for Conor Gallagher on Deadline Day,” he said on Twitter. Despite rumors, there was no £40 million proposal.”
Whether Spurs made a £40 million offer for Gallagher or not, it is unlikely the sum would have been enough to get him to north London.
Gallagher could have been a superb
When West Ham United came knocking, Chelsea demanded at least £50 million for the 23-year-old.
Tottenham had a successful transfer window.
While Tottenham did not sign Gallagher, Ange Postecoglou will be delighted with the business the north London club did.
Spurs signed James Maddison, who has already made an impression. The former Leicester City player has two goals and two assists in four Premier League games.
Guglielmo Vicario, the new goalkeeper, is also doing well between the posts right now. His save percentage of 84.2% presently ranks third in the league (FBref).
Postecoglou’s squad has gained a new member. He is a Premier League-experienced midfielder who brings a lot of enthusiasm to the field.
“Conor rarely, if ever, seems to tire,” Chelsea legend Pat Nevin wrote earlier this year in a post on the Blues’ official website.
However, the absence of the England international is unlikely to be the difference between Tottenham’s success and failure this season.
