Mauricio Pochettino has said that while Conor Gallagher loves being part of the current Chelsea set-up, he admitted that the midfielder’s contract situation is out of his hands.

Although Gallagher has been a mainstay under Pochettino this season, his future continues to be up in the air as he is about to year the final year of his contract in June.

It has been reported by various outlets over the last couple of weeks (including HITC) that even though the midfiedler would be willing to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge, the parties are nowhere close to a breakthrough in contract talks.

Tottenham are still keen on Conor Gallagher

It has been suggested that the likes of Tottenham and West Ham are thus circling over the 23-year-old, ready to pounce on him if he is put on the shop window.

Meanwhile, Football Insider claimed recently that the Lilywhites are continuing to show ‘concrete interest’ in the England international as they are aware that Chelsea need to sell players in the summer in order to comply with the Premier League’s financial rules.

Pochetitno has now admitted that the Stamford Bridge heirarchy will make the decision that is best for the club, refusing to divulge any details regarding the contract talks.

When asked about speculation over Gallagher’s future, the Chelsea boss said (via Fabrizio Romano): “He loves to play for Chelsea. His contract situation, that’s another thing. It’s between club and Conor to make the deal. I am the coach that needs to be in my place. I take the best decision for the team and club.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Reading between the lines, it seems like Pochettino does not think the Gallagher contract situation is going to be solved anytime soon. Given how well the 23-year-old is playing, his representatives are unlikely to reduce their demands, especially given that he could have a key role to play at the Euros for England.
