'Totally committed': £40m Chelsea player has now decided he definitely doesn't want to leave - journalist
Journalist Dean Jones has claimed that Conor Gallagher is now fully committed to playing for Chelsea next season.
He told GiveMeSport that the midfielder is set to turn away interest from the likes of Everton to remain at Stamford Bridge.
Gallagher has enjoyed a strong start to pre-season over in the United States, as the Blues have made it two wins from two to get things underway.
The England international has scored in both games so far, whilst starting the game against Premier League opposition in Brighton at the weekend.
There had been plenty of talk that he could be surplus to requirements this season due to the overhaul of players at the club. A transfer has been reported to be worth around £40m.
However, Jones has now claimed he has no intention to leave Stamford Bridge at this stage.
Gallagher committed to Chelsea
He said: “Conor Gallagher does not want to leave Chelsea so interest from Spurs, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Everton and Newcastle is all leading nowhere at this moment in time.
“This is a lad totally committed to establishing himself at the Bridge and while he will of course be open-minded further down the road if his path is totally backed, he’ll probably be in the starting line-up at the beginning of the season because there are no other options.
“Everton have been in touch over this one for the longest time and tried to sell themselves as a great platform for him to use to build his profile and standing in the game, and he would be pretty sure of game time week-after-week in their starting eleven.
“I don’t think Everton will totally let go of that hope until the window is closed but from Gallagher’s point of view, it’s not ideal. He would leave London for the right opportunity but is that it?”
It has been widely reported that Gallagher is a player that Mauricio Pochettino’s staff are extremely excited about working with.
