Conor Gallagher will become the most HATED player after he’s set to complete shock transfer to Premier League Rivals this afternoon!
Conor Gallagher, a Chelsea midfielder, has dropped a subtle clue about his future with the club after being linked with a £40 million move to London rivals Tottenham in the January transfer window.
The Blues star, who has been named acting captain by manager Mauricio Pochettino, has already contributed four goals in 23 games this season, but despite his consistency in the middle of the park, Gallagher remains linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Spurs, Newcastle United, and West Ham all rumoured to be interested.
football.london comprehends Spurs are not currently in talks with Chelsea about Gallagher, but his prior desire to stay at Stamford Bridge is evident. When asked about his future after the international break and his England callup last month, Gallagher stated, “Training and playing alongside midfielders worth 100 million pounds is good and shows where I’m at as well.” So maybe I can continue to perform well and play as many games as possible.
“I’m confident it [his contract] will be resolved; everyone knows Chelsea is my club and I enjoy playing for them.” I’m loving the fans right now, and I’m confident everything will work out in the end.
“It was a crazy period in terms of ins and outs at Chelsea in the summer and I had conversations with the manager and he expressed that he liked me as a player and I was in his plans and I was really happy with that.”
Even Pochettino has defended him in an attempt to keep him at SW6, but the Chelsea manager has said it is the club’s decision, not his, whether the England international remains or not. “That is between the club and the player,” he stated.
I don’t need to say anything because the decision is not mine. He is a member of the starting eleven in practically every game and is one of the captains. He is the type of player that the club requires, in my opinion.
“He’s significant due to his Chelsea values.” He came from the academy, understands the club’s identity, and is highly committed. On the pitch, you can see how he runs, plays and fights. He gives his all and is a vital member of the team. Every coach wants this type of guy on his club.”
On Saturday afternoon, the 23-year-old captained the Blues for the 14th time in all competitions in a 3-2 triumph against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, with Pochettino’s men having lost just three of the 12 league matches he’s captained. However, Gallagher has reportedly stated in interviews that he wants to stay with the club.
