Conor Gallagher is keen to fight for his place and won’t give up on his Chelsea career easily.
Chelsea are supposed to allow Conor Gallagher to leave in the January window but transfer insider Dean Jones has revealed something else in the story to GIVEMESPORT.
The 23-year-old has captained the Blues on multiple occasions this season and is a favourite of manager Mauricio Pochettino. There were some reports that he as linked with some clubs for a potential summer move but the deal didn’t happen.
Now. winter transfer window is around the corner and reports are saying Gallagher could leave the club. West Ham United are also looking to make a bid for him.
According to The Daily Mail, Gallagher could be placed on the ‘for sale’ list at Chelsea. Journalist Ben Jacobs spoke to GIVEMESPORT that the Englishman is keen to fight for his place and won’t give up on his Chelsea career easily.
He said, “I’m told so yeah. I think there’s this narrative around the fact that if Chelsea are going to go and spend more money, then the best way for them to raise funds and to avoid FFP sanctions is to sell lads that comes from the academy. And I totally understand that and it’s true.
“Selling Gallagher just doesn’t make much sense when he’s so ingrained in what Pochettino has been doing so far this season. Gallagher doesn’t want to leave, Pochettino doesn’t want him to leave and from what I understand the conversations that have happened, while they might not be on the verge of a complete breakthrough when he was signing a new contract, I was told a couple of weeks ago that he probably will be staying.
“So I would expect once we get to the new year that one really does kick on. We do need clarity on it pretty soon, but I’d be very surprised if Gallagher ended up leaving.”
