Conor Gallagher has made a high-profile return to the English Premier League from Atletico Madrid, joining Tottenham Hotspur for a fee reported at 40 million euros. This move is expected to revitalize Gallagher's hopes of earning a place in England's World Cup squad.

Gallagher, a 25-year-old midfielder, originally left Chelsea for Atletico in 2024, aiming to assist Chelsea in complying with stricter financial regulations. Now at Tottenham, one of Chelsea's main rivals, Gallagher expressed excitement about the new chapter in his career. Tottenham has not disclosed the contract length, but it reportedly extends until 2031.

Amid considerable injury challenges plaguing Tottenham's midfield, Gallagher's experience in the Premier League and international football is seen as vital. His past performances and potential make him a promising addition for Tottenham's ambitions this season.
