‘Very talented’ player believes Chelsea should give him a new contract
Conor Gallagher believes that he deserves a new contract at Chelsea.
That is according to journalist Dean Jones, who has noted interest in the Chelsea midfielder from London and Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
So, what has been reported about Conor Gallagher? Let’s take a look.
Conor Gallagher wants a new Chelsea contract
Well, journalist Dean Jones has reported that Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Conor Gallagher from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the January transfer window.
The reporter has claimed that Gallagher “believes” that he should earn a new contract at Chelsea. The 23-year-old England international midfielder’s current deal with the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners is until .
Earlier this month, reported that Chelsea are ready to sell Gallagher for £60 million and could even cash in on him for £50 million.
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has publicly pleaded for the Blues not to sell Gallagher, whom he has described as “a very talented player” who “will keep getting better, in the same way Jordan Henderson did at Liverpool”.
Jones told about Gallagher: “He still believes that he should be getting a new contract there. He is still in the plans for this season.
“Tottenham need that desire to come from the player because you don’t want to be chasing someone who absolutely doesn’t want a transfer to happen.
“So I think the fact that there is going to be at least two weeks now for Tottenham to focus on it and to just get a good feel of the Conor Gallagher situation puts them in a really good position.”
My View: Chelsea should not sell Conor Gallagher in January
In my opinion, Chelsea should not sell Conor Gallagher in the January transfer window.
The midfielder has established himself as one of the first names on the Chelsea teamsheet under head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
The 23-year-old has made 20 appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea this season. The midfielder has given four assists in those matches.
Pochettino clearly likes Gallagher and what he brings to the team, so to sell him in the middle of the season would be a huge blow for Chelsea and would potentially undermine the manager.
