To retain Conor Gallagher at Stamford Bridge, Mauricio Pochettino has urged Chelsea’s board to take action.
Gallagher may depart Chelsea this summer; it is rumoured that the club’s owners are considering selling the England midfield player.
With his contract at the club entering its last year, the midfield player is a hot topic of conversation heading into the summer.
The Chelsea management may find it enticing to sell Gallagher given the requirement to balance the finances.
Pochettino has now made an effort to step in. The Argentine has insisted on a resolution about the matter being made as quickly as possible.
Before Chelsea’s 2-0 derby victory over rival Tottenham, Chelsea supporters showed their support for the 24-year-old homegrown player Gallagher by raising a banner in his honour.
In a direct appeal to the Chelsea management to keep their home favourite in west London, the Shed End Tifo said, “Conor Gallagher, Chelsea since birth.”
The midfielder has made 46 appearances in all competitions this season, making him one of Chelsea’s top players on the pitch.
On Thursday night, Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-0, with Trevoh Chalobah scoring the game’s first goal thanks to an assist from him.
Pochettino said after the match, as reported by the Mirror:
“I am not involved, I know nothing, I cannot tell you. I think you can see in my starting XI I think, the whole season, was strong with him.
“He’s an important player of course. But I’m not involved in the decision, it’s the club and Conor. I’m not involved, that’s a situation that they need to fix between the club and the player.”
Conor Gallagher has been impressive for Chelsea this season.
