Conor Gallagher has been linked with a departure from Chelsea for so long that most people have started to accept it as inevitable.
But today we saw the first hints that maybe a positive resolution is in sight to his situation. Journalist Rahman Osman Tweeted that the academy product is “staying” when asked about his future.
It’s a little glimmer of hope for fans.
Gallagher is staying mate.

Now this is hardly the biggest and best source, but we like the confidence with which he speaks, especially in a world where grifters on Twitter make their living off playing both sides and leaving room to change their mind down the line.
Still, we will want to see this line repeated by some of the big names before we start to really believe that the plan to sell Gallagher is dead for good. Even then, the next big milestone will be getting him to sign a new contract.
