Chelsea are trying to revive their January transfer business and player sales will play a major role as we approach the final week of the window.
As revealed by TEAMtalk, Armando Broja is likely to leave the club amid serious interest from Fulham and Conor Gallagher is another player who is considered an asset worth selling.
But not everyone in the Chelsea hierarchy agrees that selling the midfielder is the best move for the club.
There’s a gap at the top of the London club. Some believe that selling Gallagher would benefit their finances because Gallagher is a graduate of the Academy of Blues and therefore any fees they receive from him are considered pure profit.
But others see Gallagher as an integral part of Pochettino’s team – which he is.
The England international was a regular in his side and Pochettino constantly praised him, explaining to the board that he did not want to sell him.
TEAMtalk can exclusively confirm that the dispute is likely to be resolved by the player himself. Our sources indicate that he will reject any offers to leave Chelsea in the current window.
Gallagher repels Tottenham, West Ham advance.
Gallagher has been in charge of Chelsea this season and has been a rare bright spark for the Blues in a poor season that has seen them sink to the bottom of the table.
As previously reported, Tottenham are very interested in the 23-year-old and are determined to sign him as they believe he can thrive under Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs tried to bring in Gallagher at the end of the summer but fell short of Chelsea’s price.
West Ham were also interested in Gallagher in the summer but a deal did not materialise, but TEAMtalk’s sources say interest in a potential deal remains if they get the green light for him to leave.
The midfielder’s desire is clear: to stay at Chelsea and help the club he supports end a disappointing season..
