Despite a lot of Premier League interest, Conor Gallagher has decided to stay at Chelsea.
This is according to a TEAMtalk report, Chelsea will re-open contract talks with Conor Gallagher before the end of the year.
The 23-year-old star is said to be more adamant than ever that he wants to stay at Stamford Bridge and be a part of Mauricio Pochettino‘s plans in the future. He appears to be emotionally attached and certain of his future.
According to the source, Chelsea head coach Pochettino wants to keep the box-to-box midfielder in his squad, but his future is unknown because club administrators must still find value in him.
According to TEAMtalk, Robert De Zerbi‘s Brighton have been closely studying Gallagher ahead of a possible transfer pursuit in 2024.
Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, and Newcastle United are also interested in signing the England international.
Due to Gallagher’s strong start to the 2023/24 season, we’re not shocked to hear a flurry of interest from domestic rivals.
The Blues, in our opinion, should trust Pochettino‘s judgement by extending Gallagher’s contract, which is set to expire in 2025.
Another telling sign is that Brighton‘s transfer recruitment has been excellent in recent years, so the fact that Gallagher is on their radar says a lot.
Gallagher told the Daily Mirror last week that he’s enjoying proving people wrong this year.
Following Pochettino‘s arrival in the summer, the Blues academy graduate has started every league game this season. We doubt many fans expected that before the ball was kicked.
With his great effort both in and out of possession, he adds a lot to the current Chelsea lineup. If he can just find his shooting shoes, he’ll be a truly complete midfielder.
Chelsea have lost a lot of their Cobham stars in recent years, but Gallagher, Levi Colwill, and Reece James can still form a fantastic core running through the first team.
Gallagher‘s contract predicament should be resolved smoothly and swiftly to remove the uncertainty surrounding him.
