Tottenham and Newcastle prepare to move for Premier League captain

Premier League clubs Tottenham and Newcastle United are preparing a move for Chelsea captain Conor Gallagher.

The England international is a long term target of Newcastle, as the Magpies have been linked with a move for him before.

Eddie Howe has reportedly continued to show interest in Gallagher, and throughout the previous two transfer windows, Newcastle have tried to sign him to a permanent or loan deal.

According to Football Insider, Newcastle and Tottenham are planning summer moves for the midfield player, who is valued at £35 million.

His contract situation has opened up the possibility for a move away from Chelsea.

Conor Gallagher has been tracked by Newcastle United.
