Chelsea have been prepared to sell the midfielder for a while but his performances are making him increasingly important
As a non-native English speaker, Mauricio Pochettino can sometimes struggle to find the correct word to convey exactly what he means. His press conference after ’s 3-1 win over at Selhurst Park on Monday was not one of those times. “He’s a player with great commitment to the team, always trying to compensate in every situation, in offensive and defensive situations,” the Argentinian said when asked how important has become to Chelsea, before adding a memorable flourish.
Beyond tactics, Chelsea’s head coach has done everything in his power to publicly emphasise how highly he rates Gallagher as a player and as a person: praising him at every opportunity, picking him whenever fit and even handing him the captain’s armband for a significant stretch of this campaign when and were injured. The future, as Pochettino admitted in that press conference after beating Palace, “is a matter for him and the club”.
