Deans Jones reveals update on the Conor Gallagher contract saga and reveals the Chelsea midfielders feel he deserves a contract extension at the club amid Tottenham Hotspur’s interest.
Spurs are heavily linked with a move for the England international, and the Blues are open to selling the 23-year-old to make a profit following their extravagant spending last summer.
The Cobham graduate is said to be ready to fight for his place, but if the interested parties meet the Blues’ demand, then they might cash in on the midfielder.
Deans Jones, a transfer journalist, offers an additional report on the midfielder agreement scenario, stating that Gallagher is eager to extend his contract. Jones told GiveMeSport:
“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.”
If we look at his contract situation, there are many aspects because the midfielder wants to continue at the club, and he certainly deserves to remain here because Gallagher has honed his performances and impressed Mauricio Pochettino. He is now a fundamental part of the squad, and his exit will be a big blow for us because we will be without a player who asserts extra energy and is a ball-winner.
The only thing Gallagher has to refine is his technical play because sometimes his decisions are poor and he plays safe football. He will have to make a risky decision if he wants to improve his technical attributes.
The Blues may have to let him go in order to generate revenue since they cannot risk breaking the Premier League Financial Fair Play rule. However, selling him to direct competitors is comparable to throwing in the towel because it will only make them more potent.
