Tottenham are facing another injury concern after Lucas Bergvall suffered a high ankle sprain that is set to rule him out for at least a month, adding to an already lengthy list of absentees in Thomas Frank's squad.

It would be a hard deal to do. It's no surprise that there were some clubs sniffing around Gallagher in the summer. He's been in and out of the Atletico Madrid side, not played as many minutes as he would like in La Liga, but he did start in the Champions League against Liverpool. That makes it a difficult deal to do in January due to the fee involved and obviously Atletico would need to bring in a replacement for him as well.
