Just In: Chelsea to offer 22-year-old star in player-plus-cash deal for Caicedo
Reports suggest that Chelsea is willing to include 22-year-old midfielder Conor Gallagher in a potential deal, along with cash, to secure the signing of Brighton’s Moises Caicedo. Football Insider states that Chelsea sees Gallagher as a valuable asset to entice Caicedo, as Brighton has shown a long-standing interest in the young English player.
Brighton views Gallagher as an ideal replacement for Alexis Mac Allister, who recently joined Liverpool. Gallagher had an impressive season for Chelsea, featuring in 45 matches across various competitions and contributing four goals.
The report further highlights the challenge Gallagher might face in securing a spot in the starting lineup under new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino for the upcoming season. Additionally, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring Gallagher’s situation closely.
