wants to keep at despite the fact the club have made no effort to hand him a new contract and have offered him to clubs this summer.

Gallagher looked set to leave Chelsea with and West Ham .

But Blues head coach Pochettino .

Since then, this summer.

New now indicate that while Gallagher wants to stay and fight for his spot and Pochettino remains a big fan of the player, Chelsea are not making any effort to negotiate a new contract and it is believed that his future is still up in the air.

Gallagher is currently under contract until 2025 and there had been reports that Chelsea were going to hand him a new deal, but nothing has happened just yet.

Pochettino, quizzed about Gallagher’s future last month, said: ‘Conor is in our plans, I was talking with him the first day I arrived.

‘In football, things can happen we cannot manage. At the moment, I am happy with him and his performance, he has two years on his contract.’

Gallagher impressed in Chelsea’s first game of the new season as they drew 1-1 against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

But after Chelsea brought in Moises Caicedo and with the Blues on the verge of signing Romeo Lavia, Gallagher could see his playing time in west London dramatically reduced.
