Conor Gallagher wants to stay at Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino wants Gallagher to stay. The resolution, therefore, appears rather simple.
The truth is far more complicated.
Gallagher’s match-winning brace at Crystal Palace on Monday night has intensified the focus on the England international’s future.
Re-signing the 24-year-old appears a no-brainer. The supporters love him. His team-mates loves him. More pertinently, his manager loves him.
Privately, Pochettino has forcefully advanced the merits of agreeing a new contract for Gallagher with his superiors.
Conor Gallagher scored twice to help Chelsea defeat Crystal Palace on Monday night
There has been great speculation recently over whether he would stay or leave the club, but it seems he is a favourite among the fans
Mauricio Pochettino also doesn't want Gallagher to leave the club and Mail Sport understands Gallagher does not want to leave either
That will come as no surprise.
