Arsenal legend, William Gallas has come out to say that he believes that Conor Gallagher is doing more for Chelsea than Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact that Gallagher runs a lot makes him an indispensable asset to that Chelsea midfield, and if he leaves this summer, the fans have every right to be upset.

Gallas added that the Chelsea board definitely made a mistake by spending so much money on the other unreliable options.
His words, “Should Chelsea sell Conor Gallagher? When you spend £100m plus on players like Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, they will have big expectations and you expect them to lead on the field. It hasn’t happened, they’re still young. Conor Gallagher is a Chelsea boy, he did not cost the club any money and the fans love him because of his commitment on the pitch.
Gallagher runs a lot, you need players like him, if you compare him to Enzo and Caicedo, he is completely different. Gallagher is doing more for Chelsea than the other two, if he has to leave the club, the fans will be upset but they will understand why he has to leave, because of Financial Fair Play. It’s hard to understand how Chelsea have put themselves in that position, the board has made a mistake in spending so much money that they now need to rely on selling homegrown players.
