Tottenham have called time on their pursuit of Conor Gallagher, according to the Evening Standard.
Spurs tried to complete a deal for the Chelsea midfielder, making a verbal offer of ₤40m.
However, the move hinged on their ability to offload one of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg or Eric Dier.
However, Hojbjerg rebuffed interest from Atletico and Fulham, while Dier failed to attract clubs big enough for him to join.
As a result, Gallagher looks set to stay at Chelsea which may frustrate the club owners or sporting directors but will be good news for Mauricio Pochettino who is a fan of the player.
