Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, the situation has not changed and no progress has been made with the contract extension.
David Ornstein noted, "The situation hasn't changed, Gallagher's contract expires in June 2025, so the ideal scenario for Chelsea would be to either extend his contract or sell him. The two sides are not close to renewing their contracts at the moment, so Chelsea are very likely to sell Gallagher if the right offer comes in."
"We know favor Gallagher, they made efforts to sign the player last summer and they might try again, but they need to sell a player like Hoyte first, and right now that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. So it is normal for Chelsea to close the transfer window without a contract extension and without selling Gallagher."
"At the moment, it looks like Broa is more likely to leave than Gallagher. What needs to be clear is that Chelsea really like Gallagher's personality and it's clear that he's a big part of Pochettino's plans, but we know there are other factors involved in his future so we'll need to see what happens next week."
Gallagher is a London-born athlete who currently plays for Chelsea. Here is a detailed profile of him.
Gallagher began his soccer career at the soccer club where he started his youth training. In 2015, he moved to Chelsea Football Club and joined Chelsea's youth academy. At Chelsea, he quickly showed great potential and became a highly regarded young player.
On the field, Gallagher plays primarily as a midfielder and has excellent passing and ball control skills to control the pace of the game. He has a wide field of vision and is able to accurately pass the ball to his teammates to create opportunities for offense. In addition, he has excellent shooting ability and is able to score for his team at critical moments.
Gallagher is also highly regarded for his first-team performances at Chelsea. He spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Crystal Palace FC where he gained valuable first-team experience. Upon his return to Chelsea, he gradually became an important part of the team. In the 2021-22 season, he became Chelsea's starting midfielder and helped the team win the title.
As well as excelling for his club, Gallagher is also a regular in the England national team. He has represented England at several age-grade internationals and helped England reach the final in mid-2020. His stellar performances have also made him an important part of the England national team for the future.
Overall, Gallagher is a talented young player who has been impressive for Chelsea. As the centerpiece of the midfield, his ability to pass, control the ball and shoot makes him an integral part of the team. In the future, he is expected to continue to grow and contribute even more to Chelsea and the England national team.
