Having never displayed an inclination to head for the exit of the club he joined aged six, he would still need convincing should a sum be agreed with Atletico.Along with West Ham, Tottenham has also indicated interest; but, if they can agree personal terms, Atletico seems most likely to grab the England international.

When Mail Sport contacted Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca about his opinion on Gallagher in Atlanta on Tuesday, he said: ” Sadly, anything can happen when the transfer window is open. Not only for Conor but for every other player as well.Having appeared in all but one of Chelsea’s 38 Premier League games, Gallagher had been a vital member of their team last season.

In 50 Blues games in all competitions, the midfielder scored seven goals and offered nine assists.
