Tottenham Complete €40m Deal for Conor Gallagher After Bentancur’s Hamstring Surgery

The signing is a rapid response to a three‑month layoff for Rodrigo Bentancur that has left Tottenham short in midfield.

Overview

  • Gallagher joins from Atlético Madrid on a long-term contract for about €40m (£34m), with Spurs moving ahead of Aston Villa for his signature.
  • Tottenham confirmed Bentancur has undergone surgery on his right hamstring, with multiple reports projecting an absence of around three months.
  • Reports indicate Gallagher could be included in the squad for Saturday’s home match against West Ham as Thomas Frank manages limited options.
  • Spurs are progressing other January business, including a reported £13m move for Santos left-back Souza to add depth on the left.
  • Supporter groups have planned a protest at the West Ham game, reflecting frustration over recruitment, injuries, and broader club direction.
