Tottenham are reportedly gearing up to make an offer for Chelsea's Conor Gallagher.

Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has suggested that this long-anticipated transfer could finally happen this summer.

Solhekol reported that Chelsea are now bracing for an approach from Spurs for the England international.

This follows recent interest from clubs like Atletico Madrid, although their offers have not met Chelsea's valuation for the 24-year-old midfielder.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, the pundit stated:

"Atletico Madrid are there for him, but I don't think they're offering enough. I've been told today that Chelsea are expecting Spurs to come in for him maybe in the next couple of days or the next few weeks. When he comes back from holiday there could be some major developments."

Gallagher, who played a pivotal role for Chelsea last season, is in the final year of his contract. Despite his contract situation, the Blues remain eager to keep him, highlighting his value to the team.

Under former manager Mauricio Pochettino, he was a consistent starter, featuring in 37 Premier League games and contributing five goals and seven assists. His steady performances have solidified his status as a key player for the side. (Transfermarkt)

Tottenham have had a long-standing interest in Gallagher, closely monitoring him since last summer's transfer window. With the new season approaching, Spurs are aiming to further strengthen their midfield, having already added Archie Gray to their ranks.

As the transfer window unfolds, Gallagher's transfer would be a major coup for Spurs, bolstering their midfield options and overall team strength for the upcoming season.
