Tottenham
Everton have officially cooled their interest in a Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, significantly easing January exit speculation surrounding the English international.
Tottenham Hotspur’s squad planning received a welcome boost on the transfer front as one of the clubs previously linked with Conor Gallagher stepped back from a potential mid-season pursuit. According to exclusive transfer updates shared by Transfer News Live on X, citing TEAMtalk, Everton are no longer expected to pursue Tottenham midfielder Conor Gallagher when the January transfer window reopens.
The update provides considerable relief for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, who are looking to maintain squad stability and depth throughout an intense campaign.

Despite fresh media links connecting Gallagher to potential winter suitors across the Premier League, Everton manager David Moyes has opted to direct his recruitment focus toward more pressing roster needs. With central midfield already well-covered within his current Goodison Park squad, Moyes has prioritized strengthening the Toffees’ attacking ranks and left-back position.
As part of those alternative plans, Everton have reportedly turned their attention toward monitoring emerging attacking targets, including Nicolo Tresoldi, Dion Beljo, Esteban Lepaul, and Orri Oskarsson. This shift in strategy effectively removes Everton from the equation regarding Gallagher’s immediate future.
Easing Exit Pressure in North London
For Tottenham, Everton’s decision to cool their interest eliminates one potential landing spot for the 26-year-old England international. While Gallagher has faced increased competition for regular starting places following the high-profile midfield arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes under De Zerbi, his proven Premier League pedigree and tactical versatility across all three central midfield roles remain highly valued assets at Hotspur Way.
