Keith Wyness thinks Conor Gallagher is unfortunate to find himself down the midfield pecking order

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness believes Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Conor Gallagher is unfortunate to be low in the midfield pecking order under manager Roberto De Zerbi. Despite Gallagher helping Spurs avoid relegation last season after arriving from Atletico Madrid in January 2026, summer signings Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes have limited his starting opportunities to just seven Premier League appearances this season.

Amid reported transfer interest from Everton, Aston Villa, and Leeds United ahead of the January transfer window, Wyness expects Tottenham will refuse to entertain offers. Writer Rohan Sengupta argues that retaining the 26-year-old England international remains essential for Tottenham due to his relentless work ethic, versatility, and crucial impact off the bench.
