“Happy to bat that away” – Journalist speaks on biggest potential Chelsea deal of the day

Welcome to the end of a long three month transfer window that has seen drama, upsets, celebrations, and everything else in between, especially if you are a Chelsea fan.

The Blues have done some incredible business this summer in terms of bringing in top new players as well as getting a lot of the deadwood out and completely rebuilding the squad.

Sources: Chelsea pushing for pre-agreement to sign England striker!

There has been some exciting moments and also some dramatic ones. But one of the biggest deals of the window could still happen today, and that will be centered around midfielder Conor Gallagher.

Most outlets are suggesting that he could still leave Chelsea today, with Tottenham in particular weighing up a late move.

But will Chelsea entertain it?

Well, journalist Ben Jacobs believes that they would, but only for a fee that matches their valuation which he believes would be around £45m to £50m.

What has Jacobs said on it?

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “With Conor Gallagher, he’s under consideration by Tottenham. Again, he has been since July. But Gallagher captained Chelsea yesterday against Wimbledon, he’s on record as saying that he doesn’t think his chapter with Chelsea is over. Lewis Hall, by the way, said the same a week before he signed for Newcastle. He extended his deal at Chelsea and signed a six-plus-one-year contract and spoke very highly about his future Chelsea and then left about seven days later, so you just never know.

“But Gallagher if he ends up staying at Chelsea, should an offer not arrive that suitable to all parties, is quite happy to stay and fight for his place, even with the arrivals of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo, Mauricio Pochettino wants that squad-size down significantly. And as a result, there will be a flurry of outgoings at Chelsea. So, we have to watch Gallagher’s future right up until the end of the window. But if Spurs do move, then that is going to be minimum, and I stress minimum £45 million and probably more like £50m. Otherwise Chelsea will be happy to bat that away and keep Gallagher in their squad at least until January.”
