Tottenham complete signing of defender, in second January deal: report
"Conor Gallagher has already been unveiled as a Lilywhites player, with the former Chelsea midfielder brought in for cover following a hamstring injury to Rodrigo Bentancur. The England man has cost Spurs 35 million, according to the BBC, with another new face to come through the door in the coming days. ESPN Brasil have reported that a move for Santos defender Souza has now been completed, for a fee believed to be around 15m."
"After the Brazilian club sent Joao Basso on loan to Estoril Praia in Portugal in 2024, Estoril filed a lawsuit against them, with Santos apparently needing this latest transfer fee to settle the debt. The Alvinegro have to pay just under 3m before a deadline to avoid a transfer ban. FourFourTwo understands that Spurs are still in the market for further additions before the transfer window closes, as Frank targets European football next season."
Tottenham Hotspur completed a second January signing while pursuing further additions before the window closes. The team has struggled domestically, languishing in the bottom half of the table and exiting the FA Cup after a third-round defeat to Aston Villa. Conor Gallagher joined from Chelsea for 35 million to provide cover for the injured Rodrigo Bentancur. ESPN Brasil report that Santos left-back Souza has been signed for around 15m, with Santos needing the fee to settle debts related to a lawsuit after a 2024 loan. Spurs finished 17th last term and remain focused on rebuilding under Thomas Frank.
