Chelsea sets asking price for 16-G/A standout amid interest from Tottenham, Aston Villa.

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been linked with a departure from the club in recent months.

The 24-year-old midfielder’s contract expires next summer, and Chelsea has yet to agree on a contract extension with him. It will be intriguing to see whether the Blues can cash in on him before the window shuts.

According to 90 Min, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are interested in recruiting the central midfielder this summer, but will have to pay a high price for him. According to the allegation, Chelsea is holding out for £55 million. Although Gallagher is a consistent Premier League performer and a quality player with enormous potential, his contract issue may make it tough to get that kind of money for him.

Tottenham and Aston Villa will try to sign him for a lower fee. It’ll be interesting to see how the scenario unfolds.

Spurs and Aston Villa could use Conor Gallagher.
Tottenham need additional quality and depth in their center midfield, and the 24-year-old England international appears to be the perfect fit. He will provide defensive cover, work rate, goals, and inventiveness on the side. Gallagher has established himself in English football and may have an immediate impact at Tottenham. He might be a great alternative for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is set to leave.

Last season, the Chelsea star scored seven goals and provided nine assists across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa will compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, and they want quality signings. The Chelsea midfielder would undoubtedly help them improve.

Chelsea’s reported £55 million valuation seems high for a player on his final year of contract. It remains to be seen how the situation will progress in the following weeks. Chelsea may have to drop their asking price in order to close a transaction.
