The January transfer window has been buzzing with rumors and speculations, and one name that has been making the rounds is Conor Gallagher. It seems that Tottenham is interested in acquiring the young midfielder, but not everyone is on board with that idea.
Mark Schwarzer, a former Chelsea player, has spoken out against selling Gallagher before the end of the transfer window. He believes that the team needs to hold on to him, especially after his impressive performance as a second-half substitute in Chelsea's Carabao Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough on Tuesday. The team went on to win 6-1, securing their spot in the final at Wembley next month.
During the match, Gary Neville, a co-commentator and former Manchester United defender, raised questions about Gallagher's future at Chelsea after he was left out of the starting line-up. And Schwarzer is not the only one who thinks that selling Gallagher would be a mistake. Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham's manager, has also expressed interest in the midfielder, but he has not ruled out the possibility of him being sold by Chelsea.
Schwarzer believes that selling Gallagher would be a huge blow for Chelsea, especially since the team has gone through a lot of changes recently. He thinks that it's important for the team to have players who are also fans and have a genuine connection with the club. He even mentions Mason Mount, a former Chelsea player who is now at Manchester United, and how he would have liked him to stay at the club.
Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who has coached Gallagher with England's national team, also agrees that the team should resist selling the young midfielder. He describes Gallagher as a true Chelsea fan who loves the club and gives his all in every training session. He also believes that Gallagher was not included in the starting line-up against Middlesbrough because the team needed to be more attacking, but he expects him to play in the upcoming game on Friday.
Hasselbaink, along with Schwarzer and many others, hopes that Gallagher does not leave the club. He understands the financial and rule restrictions that the team has to consider, but he still wants Gallagher to stay. He believes that it's important for the fans to have someone to relate to and who has come through the ranks of the club. He ends by saying that he wouldn't want to see Gallagher go.
