Report: Tottenham still in ‘box seat’ because player does not want Newcastle move

In what comes as a big boost to Tottenham’s hopes of landing Conor Gallagher, Football Insider have said that the Chelsea star has turned down the chance to join Newcastle United this summer.

The report says that along with Spurs, Newcastle have held a long-term interest in Gallagher and still remain in the mix to sign the midfielder.
