Conor Gallagher deserve some respect; He had turned down January move to prove himself at Chelsea.
One thing Chelsea fans may not know is the fact that Gallagher had turned down an offer to leave Chelsea by January only for him to stay to prove himself and he deserve respect for this
According to Jason Cundy while speaking to TalkSport today, he said;
“My understanding is that Chelsea didn’t want to get rid of him in the summer. Even though Crystal Palace came back in. My understanding is that, in January, he was very close to going to Everton. But I believe he didn’t want to go through with the deal so nothing happened.”
While there’s no denying he’s not a starter, his role as first off the bench in every game is an important one, and those 30 minute cameos really start to add up.
Considering it’s his first season back at Chelsea, he will likely consider this season good progress, and be pretty pleased with his decision to turn down chances to leave in the summer and January.
