Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Conor Gallagher is set to stay at Chelsea this season despite rumors of a potential January exit.
Gallagher was linked with an exit last summer as well but ended up staying at Stamford Bridge. The English midfielder has been one of the better players in an underperforming side this season at Stamford Bridge.
He has also donned the captain’s armband in Reece James and Ben Chilwell’s injury earlier this season. Gallagher was still linked with a move away in January, with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur interested.
However, Romano has confirmed that despite their interest, Spurs didn’t make any significant move to sign the midfielder. He will now stay with Mauricio Pochettino’s side until the summer at least.
Romano tweeted:
“No movement around Conor Gallagher so far, not just today but same during the entire January window. Tottenham appreciates him, Postecoglou likes him a lot but #THFC never opened talks with Chelsea this winter.”Gallagher, staying at #CFC with contract due to expire in 2025.”
Gallagher has made 29 appearances for Chelsea across competitions this season, providing six assists.
The Englishman came through the Blues’ academy and has made 74 senior appearances for them. His contract expires in 2025 and as per Transfermarkt, his market value is €42 million.
