Is Gallagher the captain Spurs need?
Roberto De Zerbi takes charge of his first home match with it already feeling like a must-win fixture for the Italian against his former club. Sitting in the relegation zone, Spurs’ three remaining matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be vital in the battle for survival. They travel to Wolves next weekend, desperately hoping to carry some momentum with them. With Cristian Romero absent through injury and
set for a spell on the sidelines, De Zerbi will be without one of his most important players and will need to decide where the armband goes as the vice-captain, James Maddison, is out too. De Zerbi needs someone with strong leadership skills who can set an example for teammates. Conor Gallagher is yet to settle in north London but he occasionally
captained Chelsea and brings with him great experience from his time with Atlético Madrid and England. As a central midfielder, he could set the tone and it may bring him a much-needed confidence boost.
