“Back bone of Chelsea” “He set the dressing room right” – Joe Cole reveals why Chelsea will suffer next season if they sell 50m important player
Conor Gallagher, a midfield player for Chelsea, is important, according to former Chelsea attacker Joe Cole.
Conor Gallagher performed with such passion and dedication that he was a constant presence in the Chelsea lineup throughout the entire season.
There are rumors, nevertheless, that Chelsea is prepared to let go of the Englishman in order to balance the finances in light of the FFP problems.
Joe Cole, who opposes the deal, has referred to Gallagher as the key member of the Chelsea team.
“If I was sitting in front of the Chelsea owners, I would be telling them that Conor is arguably the most important player in the dressing room,” Cole, who spent seven years at Chelsea, told talkSPORT.
“Before you even talk about what he does on the pitch, he understands the club. During the difficult times you see what a player is worth and Conor was always there and available and driving the team on.
“I think it’s vital for the club to keep him. I’ll admit I don’t understand the financial side of it but purely from a football point of view, he’s in the top-three most important players in the dressing room.”
