Roy Hodgson has urged Conor Gallagher to stay and fight for his Chelsea career. Several Premier League clubs are understood to be keeping tabs on the midfielder.
An impressive campaign for Crystal Palace last season launched Gallagher into the limelight but lavish spending has plunged him down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge. Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke’s arrivals this month have threatened the 22-year-old’s future further.
Reports suggested Everton had lodged a £45milion bid for Gallagher just 24 hours after receiving the same fee from Newcastle for Anthony Gordon. Former club Palace, where he forged a name for himself on loan in 2021-22, are also interested.
