Tottenham have revealed plans to sign another midfielder in 2026 with the club set to finalise a deal for Conor Gallagher, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier on Wednesday that Gallagher has completed his medical at Tottenham<\/a> and will be announced as a Spurs player shortly.<\/p>\n Romano wrote on X: \u2018Conor Gallagher completed his medical as new Tottenham player, official statement next to announce him and Brazilian LB Souza from Santos. Atl\u00e9tico Madrid receive \u20ac40m.\u2019<\/p>\n Despite Gallagher potentially solving a number of issues in the middle of the park for Tottenham, the Spurs recruitment team think they are still lacking one midfield player.<\/p>\n The Times claim that<\/a> Tottenham are looking to sign a \u2018midfield connector\u2019 in 2026 with a deep-lying creative playmaker on their list of top targets.<\/p>\n The report reveals: \u2018What Gallagher will not solve is Tottenham\u2019s need for a midfield connector, a playmaker to complement the more destructive Palhinha at the base of their midfield.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Xabi Alonso next job rankings: from the batsh*t (Man Utd, Spurs) to the obvious (Liverpool)<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018The club have identified the need for more of a creative passer from deep but whether such a key signing can be made in January, or has to be deferred to the summer, remains to be seen. The most-wanted Premier League players in that position \u2014 Adam Wharton among them \u2014 are unlikely to be leaving mid-season.\u2019<\/p>\n Yan Diomande has been heavily linked to a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham<\/a>, but Romano has revealed a deal is \u201cnot possible\u201d for Spurs in January.<\/p>\n Romano said on his YouTube channel<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cThe message from Leipzig is that Diomande will not leave the club in the January window. They want to keep the winger. Eventually, in the summer it\u2019s going to be a different story.\u00a0Man Utd,\u00a0PSG\u00a0and\u00a0Bayern\u00a0are sending their people to follow him.\u00a0Tottenham\u00a0already tried for this January window but it was not possible. There\u2019s going to be plenty of interest in him because he\u2019s one of the most interesting wingers in the market.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Leipzig was to continue with him and protect him. They think the next six months will help to drive the price higher ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you ask me do you think Diomande will move in January, I\u2019d say it would be complicated because Leipzig already made big money in the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON SPURS ON F365 Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness thinks Tottenham are putting their backing behind Thomas Frank with the Gallagher signing amid rumours he could face the sack soon unless he turns results around.<\/p>\n
