Everton Football Club reportedly planning a shock move for Tottenham's Conor Gallagher, as manager David Moyes plots a triple swoop in the Premier League. This comes amid an impressive season where the club is battling for a European place.
Conor Gallagher, who joined Spurs in January from Atletico Madrid in a £35 million deal, may be on his way out if Tottenham drops into the Championship. Despite only joining recently, it seems that he might not stay with Spurs if they get relegated. This has piqued the interest of Everton boss David Moyes who is keen to bolster his midfield.
Gallagher’s current team are currently 17th in the Premier League table with only two points separating them from the relegation zone. They are fighting it out with London rivals West Ham for a place in next season’s Premiership.
Interest in Aston Villa skipper John McGinn
In addition to Gallagher, Everton has also shown interest in Aston Villa skipper John McGinn. The midfielder was previously subject to an enquiry by Goodison Park last summer and could potentially be part of Moyes' plans this transfer window.
Aston Villa might consider letting go of their captain if they succeed in signing free agent Harry Wilson from Fulham at the end of this season.
Everton's ambitious transfer plans don't stop there; they will also approach Chelsea about taking striker Liam Delap on loan with an option to buy later on. This potential move aligns with their strategy of strengthening their attacking options ahead of next season. This flurry of transfer activity comes as Everton prepares for another busy summer amid new manager Xabi Alonso's imminent arrival at Goodison Park.
Looking ahead
Currently sitting tenth on the league table and just two points behind eighth place, Everton is expected to qualify for the Conference League. They will host Sunderland at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday in a crucial league match.
The Toffees' final game of the season will be against Gallagher and his Tottenham team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on May 24. This match could potentially be a deciding factor in Gallagher's future with Spurs.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will also be in action on Tuesday when they visit London rivals Chelsea, adding another layer of intrigue to this unfolding Premier League drama. Everton's planned triple swoop could significantly shake up the Premier League landscape. With potential moves for Conor Gallagher, John McGinn and Liam Delap on the cards, fans can expect an exciting summer transfer window ahead.
