Tottenham are working hard to secure the services of Conor Gallagher this month as they look to shore up their midfield, reports Football Insider.
Spurs have been heavily linked with a move for Gallagher since the summer, with Ange Postecoglou a huge fan of the 23-year-old.
However Gallagher has since estebalished himself as a key player for Chelsea and has captained the Blues in the absence of Reece James.
Mauricio Pochettino is a a huge fan of Gallagher and is keen to retain his services, though his hand may be forced given the club's desire to sell.
Chelsea need to remain within Financial Fair Play regulations and that means cashing in on some of their homegrown stars.
Mason Mount similarly was sold to Manchester United last summer, with the England international's sale counting as 'pure profit' have coming through the club's academy.
Gallagher's contract expires in 18 months' time and while he is hoping to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, Spurs will seek to capitalise upon Chelsea's indecision to offer the youngster a new deal to secure his services this month.
Gallagher has won possession in the attacking third more times (29) than any other player in the Premier League this season.
