Bayern Munich could allow midfield ace Joshua Kimmich to depart this month - and Tottenham could make a sensational move if they fail to land Conor Gallagher, sources have told Football Insider.

Sources told Football Insider (26 January) that Spurs are readying a shock last-gasp bid to prise Gallagher from Chelsea before the January window closes.

It is believed that the German giants would want between £40-60million to let the 28-year-old leave this month.

Tottenham have been in talks with Chelsea regarding a deal for Gallagher, with the Blues demanding a fee of up to £80million to let him depart for their London rivals.

Ange Postegoclou's side have now prioritised a move for a central midfielder after signing centre-back Radu Dragusin permanently from Genoa and forward Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig.

Spurs revived their interest in the England international after they lost out on Man City ace Kalvin Phillips to West Ham United, but Kimmich is now on their radar.

The Germany international has been a mainstay for Thomas Tuchel's side this season having made 26 appearances and bagging one goal and six assists across all competitions.

He is regarded as one of Europe's best defensive midfielders and has scored 41 goals and provided 100 assists across 370 appearances for Bayern.

He is also a reported target of Premier League giants Liverpool and has 18 months remaining on his contract at the second-place Bundesliga outfit.

Tottenham sit fifth in the Premier League table and were most recently eliminated from the FA Cup after their 1-0 home defeat to Man City on Friday evening (26 January).

They are next back in league action against Brentford on Wednesday evening (31 January).
