Gallagher determined to lift Tottenham up table
Conor Gallagher helped Tottenham Hotspur avoid relegation last season, and the midfielder is now determined to help the club move up the table.
Gallagher joined Spurs in January from Atletico Madrid for a reported £34 million ($64.9 million) and helped the north London side avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Spurs only retained their Premier League status with a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day of the season, with Roberto De Zerbi's side finishing 17th.
Spurs have finished 17th in each of the past two Premier League seasons, and Gallagher is ready to do his part in improving the team's performances.
"It's time to kick on to try and show the fans what I can do," Gallagher said.
"I want to be at my best to help the club go to where we should be.
"Every footballer has things going on and hard, tough times. It's just life. Everyone has problems and I'm just really happy that we came out of it and I ended the season well.
"Hopefully this is only the start of my Spurs career."
Spurs have made a strong start in pre-season ahead of De Zerbi's first full campaign in charge, winning all four games so far, including a 2-1 win over London rival Chelsea.
After closing out pre-season with friendlies against Getafe and Hoffenheim, Spurs begin their Premier League campaign away to another London rival in Brentford on 23 August (AEST).
Their first home game of the season comes a week later against Newcastle United, which recently appointed Matthias Jaissle as head coach.
