Conor Gallagher has responded fantastically to suggestions that Chelsea should offload him in the summer. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge recently as Liverpool begin to consider alternatives to Jude Bellingham.
The Borussia Dortmund star, who sees his contract at the Signal Iduna Park expire in 2025, has been subject to long-term interest from the Blues, football.london understands. The west Londoners watched the midfielder during his time as an academy player at Birmingham City but, after failing to act on their interest, the German side swooped in and signed him instead.
Ever since, Bellingham has continued to attract the attention of Chelsea and Liverpool, however the latter are now believed to have cooled their interest. According to The Times, Jurgen Klopp's side are considering alternatives to the England international, with his eye-watering price tag proving to be an issue.
