According to The Sun, Everton are preparing for a summer transfer for Tottenham midfielder Conor Gallagher, and a move is entirely dependent on whether Tottenham are relegated. The report indicates Everton are ready to make a bid for the England international should the North London club be relegated to the Championship. If that occurs, a large-scale sale of players is expected at Spurs, and Gallagher will be a top priority for Everton. The Sun also reports that Gallagher has no intention of staying at the club if they are relegated, because he considers himself too talented for second-tier football.

According to Football Insider, Everton are ready to approach Tottenham about a loan move for Conor Gallagher that would likely include an obligation for a permanent transfer. Gallagher joined Tottenham in January 2026 from Atletico Madrid for a reported €40 million and his contract is valid until 2031. This season, he has made 11 Premier League appearances and provided one assist.
