On January 14, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur officially announced the signing of Atletico Madrid midfielder Gallagher. According to Sky Sports, Gallagher has never missed a single club match due to injury in his professional career.
According to Sky Sports, before joining Tottenham, Gallagher had made 268 club appearances without ever missing a single match due to injury.
This impressive record is likely a key factor in Tottenham's interest in him. Currently, several key Tottenham players, including Kudus, Solanke, Bentancur, and Maddison, are sidelined with injuries, and Gallagher's arrival would significantly bolster the team's squad depth.
Gallagher came through Chelsea's youth academy and subsequently played on loan at Charlton, Swansea, West Bromwich Albion, and Crystal Palace before joining Atletico Madrid from Chelsea in 2024.
