Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace target Conor Gallagher is keen on continuing at Chelsea for the 2023-24 season.
According to The Sun, Conor Gallagher doesn’t want to part ways with Chelsea in the ongoing transfer window. The 23-year-old midfielder has been linked with the likes of Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur but he wants to stay put.
Tottenham Hotspur’s focus throughout the transfer window has been on bolstering their defence. But, they are also actively looking for a new midfielder. The London club wants to sign someone who can feature in different roles in the centre of the park and the 23-year-old Chelsea graduate was one of their targets.
Meanwhile, Palace are also keen on strengthening their midfield in the coming weeks. The Eagles have been very active of late in the window and they were making moves to sign the England international who has featured for them back in the day.
Gallagher had joined Crystal Place on loan during the 2021-22 season. He had an exceptional season while on loan at the Eagles, his impressive performances resulted in him being promoted to Chelsea’s first team in the summer of 2022.
While both Spurs and the Eagles were keen on the services of the 23-year-old, they have suffered a huge blow in their pursuit as the player has decided to continue at his childhood club.
Since getting promoted to their first team, the England international has featured in a total of 46 matches and has contributed towards four goals. He featured in a total of 45 matches last season and was on the pitch for over 2000 minutes.
The 23-year-old might not have started the majority of the matches but he was given a decent role in his very first season with the senior team. But, with Chelsea signing quite a few midfielders of late, the England international’s future started becoming uncertain and multiple clubs started monitoring him closely.
Despite a lot of interest from elsewhere, Gallagher wants to continue at Chelsea. He wants to fight for his spot in the starting XI and will not be parting ways with the club in the ongoing transfer window.
