Mauricio Pochettino has said that while he is pleased with Conor Gallagher’s display, he will support the Chelsea hierarchy in any decision they make, thus seemingly hinting that the club are open to cashing in on the rumoured Tottenham target.
Gallagher has been a mainstay in Pochettino’s team so far this season, having started all but one Premier League game so far this season (Transfermarkt).
However, it has been widely reported by various sources over the last week that the Blues have put their academy graduate on the shop window and that Tottenham will try to sign him in January after failing to get a deal for the midfielder over the line last summer (The Athletic).
A couple of days ago, journalist Paul Brown said that he does not expect Chelsea to cash in on Gallagher as it might cause problems between Pochettino and the club’s hierarchy (GiveMeSport).

Pochettino implies Chelsea will decide Gallagher future
However, the Chelsea boss has now said that while he is pleased with how Gallagher is doing, the final decision on the midfielder’s future will be made by the club.
When asked about the 23-year-old, the former Tottenham boss told The Independent: “I am talking before, this situation is between the club and the player, it’s difficult for any coach to talk, it’s a decision by the club and the player.
“I’m coaching the team, trying to make the best choice as possible to perform. At the moment, so far, he’s doing well, fantastic for the team. He’s playing because he deserves.
“About the future, it’s about the club and player and what they decide to do. In my previous experience at other clubs, I try to give my best opinion and advice to the club.
“I’m a manager who likes to work with the sporting director and the owners. It’s about talking and analysing things, then taking the best decision for the club. It’s always, I repeat, from experience in the past, it’s about the club and the player and what they decide to do.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Pochettino is being as clear as he can be while he wants to keep Gallagher, Chelsea’s tranfer committee has decided to listen to offers for the midfielder. There is no doubt in my mind that Tottenham will launch an offer for the 23-year-old as soon as the January window opens.
