Spurs Sign Gallagher from Atletico Madrid for £34m

Tottenham has officially signed England midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid for £34 million. The 25-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with the club, keeping him at Spurs until 2031. Gallagher, who joined Atletico Madrid in August 2024 for £38 million, had been linked with a move away from the Spanish club, with Aston Villa also expressing interest.

Gallagher's arrival is seen as a boost to Tottenham's midfield, which has been hit by injuries, including Rodrigo Bentancur's three-month absence with a hamstring injury. Manager Thomas Frank has praised Gallagher, saying he's a "top midfielder" with "leadership, maturity, character, and personality". Gallagher himself is thrilled to join Spurs, citing the club's ambition and his desire to play regularly.

This move marks a return to the Premier League for Gallagher, who has made 136 appearances in the competition for West Brom, Crystal Palace, and Chelsea. He's also been capped 22 times for England and is hoping to boost his chances of making the World Cup squad this summer.
