Everton receive Conor Gallagher transfer boost as Tottenham eye replacement
Everton have been linked with Conor Gallagher in recent weeks, despite his recent move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The England international has not had a good time since his winter transfer to Spurs, with the club currently facing relegation.
As a result, Tottenham may be willing to part with the midfielder in the summer, with David Moyes a big admirer.
Now, with Spurs tracking Youssouf Fofana, the Merseyside club may have received a boost in their pursuit.
Everton are targeting proven midfielders this summer, and now they could be one step closer to sealing a deal for Gallagher.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport on 29 April, Tottenham and Aston Villa are eyeing a move for Fofana.
The AC Milan midfielder is keen on a move to the Premier League, and the two clubs have already sent offers to his entourage.
| Conor Gallagher’s Premier League stats this season | Per 90 minutes |

The Italian giant is set to demand £21.66million for the 27-year-old, and while a move to Spurs is dependent on their survival, this is no doubt a big boost for Everton.
If Fofana moves to the North London club, it could make a Gallagher transfer even easier, given the depth in midfield they would have.
The AC Milan star would likely push Gallagher further down the pecking order, potentially forcing him back onto the bench for the 2026-27 campaign.
Therefore, Everton could find it easier to bring in the England international in the summer.
How do Everton plan to bring in Gallagher?
Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Everton are pursuing a loan deal for Gallagher.
The Toffees plan to include an obligation to buy the 26-year-old for 2027, rather than pursue a permanent deal immediately.
It remains to be seen how Spurs’ potential relegation could affect a deal, with the club still languishing in the relegation zone, despite their recent victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Gallagher had been a key player in this win, but he was still well below the standards expected of him when he came through the door.
Nevertheless, with plenty of twists and turns set to come in the upcoming months, the saga is likely to evolve further and further as the weeks go on.
