Credible reporter Ben Jacobs has shared the latest news on Conor Gallagher.
The Englishman has quietly established himself as a key player with Chelsea this season and has worn the captain's armband on numerous occasions in the absence of Reece James.
The midfielder's contract is due to expire in 2025 so the decision on Conor's future is a rather urgent one.
“Newcastle, West Ham, Spurs and Brighton have all looked at Gallagher in the past,” Jacobs wrote for Si Phillips Talks Chelsea's Substack site.
“I understand Brighton probably would have moved if they could have afforded his wages but it just wasn’t a financially feasible move and still isn’t.
“Gallagher has always been intent to stay and fight for his place. He is in no hurry to leave. It’s true that Chelsea’s senior leadership have previously been reluctant to offer him a new deal, but that may change with Pochettino’s influence over the coming months.
“It’s still unclear, with everyone fit, whether Gallagher is surplus to requirements, which sounds a strange thing to say given he’s been captain and a mainstay under Pochettino.
“But I would term his future as ‘open’. If Chelsea do offer him a new deal, though, I am told he’ll sign it, again indicating Gallagher’s preference is to stay.”
