Tottenham Sign Conor Gallagher From Atletico Madrid in £34m Deal

The England midfielder arrives to reinforce a midfield thinned by Rodrigo Bentancur’s hamstring surgery.

Overview

  • Tottenham confirmed a five-and-a-half-year contract for the 25-year-old, keeping him at the club until 2031.
  • British media reported a fee of about £34–35m (€40m) after Spurs met Atletico Madrid’s valuation for a permanent transfer.
  • Aston Villa pursued Gallagher on an initial loan, but Atletico preferred a sale and Spurs completed the move ahead of their rivals.
  • Head coach Thomas Frank described Gallagher as a top midfielder who will bring leadership, running power and pressing quality.
  • Spurs said Bentancur will be sidelined for up to three months after surgery, and the club is also working on January additions, including a reported £13m move for Santos left-back Souza.
