Tottenham Book Medical for Souza After Conor Gallagher

Tottenham are set to add Conor Gallagher and Santos left-back Souza, with Souza due for a medical. Betting impact: Spurs’ odds could shorten as midfield and defensive depth improve — punters might back Tottenham in match markets, expect more clean-sheet opportunities, or wager on Udogie facing rotation as Souza competes for left-back minutes.

Tottenham eye January reinforcements as Gallagher deal nears completion

Gallagher completes medical ahead of permanent move

Conor Gallagher has passed a medical and is poised to join Tottenham on a long-term contract. The England international is set to sign a five-and-a-half-year deal after Spurs agreed terms for a permanent transfer, beating Aston Villa in the race for his signature. The acquisition strengthens the midfield and gives the manager a reliable, combative option in central areas.

Souza booked in for medical; left-back depth addressed

Tottenham have also scheduled a medical for Santos left-back Souza, who will join for a fee reported to be around £15m. The Brazilian is expected to provide competition for Destiny Udogie and add long-term depth at left-back. Souza made 38 senior appearances for Santos, including 24 league outings last season, and arrives with potential rather than immediate guaranteed starts.

Tactical implications for Frank’s side

Midfield bite and defensive options

Gallagher’s arrival bolsters Tottenham’s central midfield with energy and ball-winning ability, potentially allowing tactical flexibility — more pressing and transition control. Souza’s recruitment offers a rotation option at left-back and a developmental piece who could challenge Udogie for starts, particularly in cup competitions or if defensive reinforcements are needed.

Attack still a priority

Despite clear activity in midfield and at full-back, Tottenham remain linked with further attacking reinforcements after the departure of Brennan Johnson. Spurs may still pursue forwards to restore depth and goal threat for the remainder of the window.

Transfer outlook and what to expect next

Window momentum and possible surprises

Tottenham’s swift moves suggest the club will remain active in January. With two signings advancing quickly, more deals could materialise unexpectedly as the club reacts to injuries, departures, and tactical needs.

Betting implications for punters

New signings with immediate medicals and completed deals tend to influence short-term markets. Expect Tottenham’s odds in match and defensive markets to shorten slightly as squad depth improves. Punters may consider match-winner, clean-sheet, and squad-rotation markets while monitoring starting line-up announcements for Souza’s competition with Udogie.
