Besiktas Submit Loan Offer for Tottenham Midfielder Conor Gallagher

Besiktas have submitted a loan offer for Tottenham midfielder Conor Gallagher and are awaiting a response from the North London club, according to Sozcu. The Turkish side hope the proposal prompts Spurs to consider the move ahead of the January transfer window.

Tottenham endured a difficult 2025/26 campaign, finishing 17th and escaping relegation only at the very end of the season. They signed Gallagher from Atletico Madrid in a €40 million deal last January, and the English midfielder made 18 league appearances, contributing one goal and one assist.

Midfield Competition Raises Questions Over Gallagher’s Future

Tottenham have since strengthened their midfield with significant summer signings, including Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. Those arrivals have cast doubt over Gallagher’s role at the club. Coventry City were reportedly linked earlier, with Frank Lampard said to have considered a reunion with the 26-year-old.

Besiktas remain active in the market after securing Leandro Trossard from Arsenal as a marquee addition. They missed out to Trabzonspor in the race for Mohamed Salah, but the Black Eagles are targeting another Premier League name. Turkish clubs have demonstrated a consistent ability to offer lucrative contracts, which could factor into Gallagher’s decision.

Gallagher’s Career Path Complicates the Decision

Gallagher came through the academy at Chelsea and spent several seasons on loan before securing a permanent move to Atletico Madrid. He lasted 18 months there before Tottenham brought him to the Premier League last January. Leaving Spurs after just six months would be a difficult call for a player who has spent much of his career seeking a settled base.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi will be a determining factor in how aggressively Besiktas pursue the deal and whether the offer carries enough weight to prompt Tottenham to engage. There is no firm indication Gallagher wants out, and a player of his profile has clear reasons to fight for his place at Spurs rather than move on quickly.

Gallagher could be tempted by a sufficiently lucrative contract, something Turkish sides have been able to provide of late.

Whether Besiktas can structure a proposal that works for all parties remains to be seen. Follow TipsGG for the latest updates on this transfer situation as the window develops.
