Conor Gallagher playing for Tottenham
Conor Gallagher playing for Tottenham
The Toffees certainly find themselves in an uncertain situation right now.
With The Friedkin Group looking to sell, there is no guessing how the upcoming window could look.
David Moyes will be keen to add to his squad as he will have worked with a massively thin side for several months by the time January comes around.
That is where the Englishman could come into the thinking on Merseyside.
Gallagher is emerging as an early target as Everton look to his current Tottenham situation.
Why Everton could move for Conor Gallagher
Everyone knows about the struggles that Spurs have faced in recent months.
There have been signs, but they have failed to maintain any sort of form in the past two seasons.
Gallagher was brought in to help change the tide, but couldn't do that in his debut campaign.
That has prompted him to make just three Premier League starts this time around, something which is sparking interest.
Fussball News have reported that Everton have added the 26-year-old to their watch list ahead of the January window.
The Blues could look to take advantage of his lack of gametime as they prepare a potential bid.
Tottenham are yet to place a transfer fee demand for the midfielder, while De Zerbi would take some convincing to let him leave.
It will be down to Moyes and Co. to do exactly that as he could soon make a difference on Merseyside.
Do Everton really need to sign Gallagher from Tottenham?
Having only moved to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last January, a deal could be tough to arrange this time around.
Regardless of that, there will be bigger questions of whether he is actually what the Blues need right now.
That will ultimately depend on who else comes through the doors in L3.
If Moyes can get hold of a defender and a striker, the reception of Gallagher would certainly be more positive.
He would bring Premier League experience and an industrious attitude that could serve the Toffees well.
His ability to get up and down would be a boost and would certainly serve as tough competition for the likes of James Garner, James Garner and Hayden Hackney.
A deal will ultimately hinge on the Friedkins and what sort of funding could be on the cards.
