Overview
- Tottenham announced a long-term contract to 2031 after Gallagher completed his medical on Wednesday.
- Reports put the fee at about €40m/£34–35m, with Spurs beating Aston Villa by agreeing a permanent transfer rather than a loan.
- The 25-year-old is expected to be available immediately and could feature against West Ham on Saturday.
- Bentancur has undergone right hamstring surgery and is expected to be out for around three months, with Lucas Bergvall injured and Pape Sarr at the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Spurs are pursuing further January business, with a £13m move for Santos left-back Souza advancing and a deep-lying playmaker still on the club’s list to bolster Thomas Frank’s options.
