Roberto De Zerbi Poised to Sell ‘Unbelievable’ Tottenham Star Regardless of Relegation
Tottenham Hotspur sit under pressure with six league games remaining. The club are two points adrift of safety following a defeat to Sunderland.
Managerial change and league position
Roberto De Zerbi took charge earlier this month. He signed a five-year contract on arrival.
His debut ended in defeat at Sunderland. The loss left Spurs perilously close to the relegation zone.
Transfer background and injuries
The squad has suffered significant injury problems all season. Those absences have complicated any tactical reset.
One mid-season signing drew particular attention. Conor Gallagher joined in the January window for around £40m.
Details of Gallagher’s move
- Transfer fee: approximately £40m.
- Signed during Thomas Frank’s final transfer activity before his sacking.
- International status: England midfielder.
Decision on Gallagher
Filmogaz.com has reported that De Zerbi and the club are open to selling Gallagher. The new manager is reportedly poised to sell the player.
Although some pundits called him ‘unbelievable’ at times, he has struggled to make a clear impact. Sources suggest Tottenham could pursue a sale even if relegation remains a threat.
Ex-scout assessment
Former scout Mick Brown questioned why Gallagher did not feature regularly at Atlético Madrid. He said the player has not changed Tottenham’s fortunes.
Brown added that Gallagher’s attributes will keep him on Premier League radars. He also said the club might try to recoup their transfer outlay.
Squad repercussions and next steps
De Zerbi’s arrival has sharpened scrutiny of technical quality within the squad. Gallagher’s profile may not fit the manager’s long-term plan.
Even with a long-term contract, an early exit is possible. Tottenham face a likely squad overhaul, regardless of whether they remain in the top flight.
