Chelsea risk Mauricio Pochettino's wrath! Blues in talks over Conor Gallagher sale as Tottenham reignite transfer interest

Gallagher has emerged as one of Chelsea's standout performers in a rather underwhelming season with the 23-year-old midfielder <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mauricio-pochettino-explains-why-noni-madueke-took-chelsea-penalty-conor-gallagher-crystal-palace/blt1eab7c54c9d44040" target="_blank">being a key player at the centre of the park.</a> He enjoys the unwavering trust of Pochettino and has also served as the team captain for a significant part of the campaign in the absence of regular skipper Reece James.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/tottenham-gallagher-calciomercato-news-30-dicembre-2023" target="_blank">Gianluca DiMarzio</a>, Chelsea have set a price tag <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-asking-price-for-conor-gallagher-as-tottenham-eye-up-shock-january-transfer/bltde7f69676e12797c" target="_blank">of £35 million ($45m) on Gallagher</a> to move to north London. Tottenham had previously expressed interest in signing the English international during the summer transfer window. While Chelsea were open to the deal, an agreement was not finalised at that time. But things could pan out differently this time around as Todd Boehly and Co are allegedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-and-tottenham-spurs-ange-postecoglou-eyes-conor-gallagher-swoop/blt6559efe39b82712e" target="_blank">willing to permit Gallagher's departure </a>and have welcomed Tottenham's renewed interest in the academy graduate.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Tottenham are facing potential squad challenges, with Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations. Additionally, they are open to selling Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is drawing interest from Juventus and Napoli which has spurred them to expedite negotiations with Chelsea.

DID YOU KNOW?

It remains to be seen if Gallagher indeed moves to Tottenham as Pochettino would want to hold on to his prized asset in midfield. He has made 22 appearances in this campaign and was named in the starting XI against Luton Town on Saturday which shows the Argentine manager's utmost faith in the player.
