Renowned journalist Dean Jones has revealed that Conor Gallagher is resolute in his decision to stay with Chelsea for the upcoming season, dismissing interest from other clubs such as Everton.
During the pre-season tour in the United States. Gallagher has showcased his talents, helping the Blues secure two wins in two matches. Notably, he found the back of the net in both games. And was even part of the starting lineup against Premier League side Brighton over the weekend.
Despite speculation that Gallagher might be surplus to requirements due to the club’s player overhaul. Jones has asserted that the midfielder has no plans to depart Stamford Bridge at this point. The potential transfer had been valued at around £40m.
Jones elaborated:
“Conor Gallagher does not want to leave Chelsea, so interest from Spurs, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Everton, and Newcastle is all leading nowhere at this moment in time.”
Gallagher committed to Chelsea
The young talent is fully focused on establishing himself within Chelsea’s ranks. Although he may remain open-minded about his future. Gallagher is likely to begin the season in the starting lineup due to limited alternatives.
Notably, Everton has shown considerable interest in Gallagher for a substantial period. And tried to lure him with the promise of being a prominent figure in their squad, offering consistent game time. However, it seems Gallagher is not entirely happy with the prospect. And his preference is to stay in London unless the right opportunity arises elsewhere.
While Everton might still hold onto hope until the transfer window closes. Gallagher’s perspective is that leaving London would have to be justified by an exceptional chance elsewhere.
It has been widely reported that Mauricio Pochettino’s coaching staff at Chelsea are extremely eager to work with the promising talent, further highlighting Gallagher’s importance to the club’s plans for the future.
