Although there has been a lot of interest from the Premier League, Conor Gallagher is intent on sticking at Chelsea.
According to a TEAMtalk report, it is the case.
They assert that Chelsea and Conor Gallagher will resume contract negotiations before the year is out.
The 23-year-old superstar is reportedly more adamant than ever that he wants to remain at Stamford Bridge and continue to work on Mauricio Pochettino’s vision. He appears to be passionately invested and confident about his future.
According to the article, Chelsea head coach Pochettino wants to keep the box-to-box midfielder on the team, but there is still a question mark over his future because club executives still need to recognize his importance.
TEAMtalk says that Robert De Zerbi’s Brighton side have been closely monitoring Gallagher ahead of a potential transfer pursuit in 2024.
In addition, Premier League rivals Tottenham, West Ham and Newcastle United are also eyeing a swoop for the England international.
We’re not surprised to hear a long list of interest from domestic rivals due to Gallagher’s impressive start to the 2023/24 campaign.
In our view, the Blues should trust Pochettino’s judgement by extending Gallagher’s deal, which is currently due to expire in 2025.
Another great indicator is that Brighton’s transfer recruitment has been exquisite in previous years, so the fact Gallagher’s on their radar says a lot.
The Blues academy graduate has started every league game this season following Pochettino’s arrival in the summer. We doubt too many fans would’ve predicted that before a ball was kicked.
He is making a significant contribution to Chelsea’s current lineup with his excellent effort both in and out of possession. A truly complete midfielder is what we’re looking at, if only he can locate his shooting shoes.
Even though Chelsea has lost many of its Cobham players in recent years, the first team still has a strong core made up of Gallagher, Levi Colwill, and Reece James.
Gallagher’s contract issue should hopefully be resolved amicably and swiftly to end the commotion surrounding him.
