Chelsea could sell Conor Gallagher by transfer deadline day if they receive good bid
The future of Conor Gallagher remains uncertain at Chelsea, as they might sell him if a suitable offer arrives for him by summer transfer window deadline day. later this week
The Blues hierarchy sees him as superfluous, and considering Chelsea bought in two new midfielders, the Englishman’s future might lie away from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have also slapped a £50 million price tag on the England international, with West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing him. Both clubs are hoping to sign another midfielder before the window comes to a close, but it remains to be seen if they will turn their attention to Gallagher.
Despite his uncertain status at Chelsea, Gallagher has started in the club’s last three games, and in the previous season, made 45 appearances across all competitions and scored three goals in the process. Gallagher has shown commitment to the club and is open to fighting for his spot at Chelsea despite plenty of competition.
Despite the talks of an exit, Mauricio Pochettino’s words say otherwise. It is clear that Gallagher has impressed the Argentine manager in games and training as well. (h/t Express) Speaking of Gallagher, the Blues boss said:
“He’s a really important player, with his commitment and the way he is involved every day and in training. We are so happy with him.”
Pochettino appears pleased with Gallagher’s commitment, but we can never be sure whether the Blues will rely on him if a buyer meets the asking price. The England international has been putting in a lot of effort as well, and his commitment to our cause is undeniable. However, once Romeo Lavia is ready to start for Chelsea, he could eat into Gallagher’s game time.
