EPL: Mauricio Pochettino Blocks Sale Of Chelsea Star

Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Chelsea, does not want the West London club to move midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer.

Pochettino wants Chelsea to reconsider selling Gallagher, believing that the England international may be one of four ‘important’ players for him.

Gallagher has been a bit-part player for Chelsea this season, making only 15 Premier League starts despite scoring three goals.

Last season, the 23-year-old had a standout season on loan at Crystal Palace.

Chelsea is generally anticipated to cash in on Gallagher, who has many fans around the Premier League.

Despite the need to generate finances and trim a bloated team, The Evening Standard believes that Pochettino does not want to lose Gallagher and will prevent him from leaving.
