"Tottenham have made waves in the January transfer market by agreeing a deal for Conor Gallagher, but it has now emerged that the North London club were closely monitoring Liverpool's Curtis Jones before. In a swift move to bolster Thomas Frank's midfield following a devastating injury to Rodrigo Bentancur, Spurs agreed a 34.7 million fee with Atletico Madrid for Gallagher on Monday. Aston Villa made the initial move to sign the former Chelsea man but Spurs swooped in to hijack the deal."
"Renowned Tottenham insider Paul O'Keefe shed light on the club's transfer logic via X, revealing that the Liverpool academy graduate was firmly in the frame. When asked by a fan if Spurs are looking for a progressive' midfielder, O'Keefe stated: Not really progressive but they had Curtis Jones on their list. Presumably they scrub that now 1 year left on his deal. I don't know."
"The 24-year-old midfielder, who has previously been described as exceptional by Jurgen Klopp, has enjoyed a resurgence under Arne Slot at Anfield but is entering a critical period regarding his contract. With his current deal set to expire in June 2027, he is effectively entering his final 18 months, a situation Spurs were reportedly prepared to exploit before turning attention towards Gallagher."
Tottenham agreed a £34.7 million fee with Atletico Madrid to sign Conor Gallagher as immediate midfield reinforcement after Rodrigo Bentancur suffered a serious injury. Aston Villa had initially pursued Gallagher before Tottenham intervened and completed the transfer. Tottenham's recruitment team evaluated multiple high-profile midfield targets, and Liverpool's Curtis Jones featured on their list according to insider Paul O'Keefe. Curtis Jones has regained form under Arne Slot, is entering his final 18 months on his contract which expires in June 2027, and has developed into a press-resistant controller with a pass completion rate above 91%.
