‘That’s what I thought’: Gary Neville says 23-year-old Spurs target is leaving after developments last night 

Gary Neville believes that Chelsea may have dropped a hint that they may be open to selling Tottenham Hotspur target Conor Gallagher on Tuesday night.

Chelsea booked their spot in the Carabao Cup final with an impressive win over Middlesbrough. Mauricio Pochettino’s men trailed 1-0 after the first-leg at the Riverside Stadium. However, the Blues ran out 6-1 winners last night to reach Wembley.

Interestingly, Conor Gallagher was initially left on the bench for the second-leg. The 23-year-old came off the bench midway through the second-half and provided two assists.

Nevertheless, there is speculation that the England international could leave.

Tottenham may have been given encouragement over Conor Gallagher

Gallagher may be pursued by Tottenham before the January transfer window shuts. And although you would think that the Blues would not typically allow him to leave, after making such significant investments in the last two years, they might have to take serious offers for some of their players.

When Gary Neville first spoke on Sky Sports (which aired on January 23 at 19:00), he questioned whether Gallagher was indeed going. And he said that thought had indeed occurred to him when the pundit pointed out that Pochettino’s choice had done little to quell rumors.

“Well, that’s what I thought when I saw the team sheet come through. It’s got to the point where you have spent that much money that you have got to sell one of your own, who is playing pretty well, to fund it,” he said.
