Graham Potter’s Chelsea could sell Conor Gallagher against his will, with Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and Sean Dyche’s Everton interested in signing the midfielder in the final two days of the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail journalist Craig Hope on Twitter.
The report has claimed that Everton have made a bid of £45 million to sign Gallagher from Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The 22-year-old England international midfielder wants to stay at Chelsea.
However, the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners could reportedly tell Gallagher to leave.
According to Hope, if that happened, then Gallagher would pick Newcastle over Everton, although the Magpies would have to match Everton’s bid.
