There it came. Chelsea supporters’ favourite player, the academy player who carried the club’s DNA – until there was no longer room for homegrown Gallagher. The exit went to Atletico Madrid in 2024, in a short time he will return to the Premier League, London, but not Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United were last summer on to sign the former supporter favourite from rival Chelsea, in recent months the Red Devils have again been linked with the English playmaker: This week, Football-London reported that there are two other clubs in the lead: Aston Villa and Tottenham.

Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs can report on Tuesday that it is all settled. The former Chelsea player has reportedly signed a 5.5-year deal with Tottenham.
Conor Gallagher does not want to be part of the Atletico squad, which plays the Copa del Rey on Tuesday. Instead, he will travel to North London to complete his medical check-up, it is reported. For Thomas Frank, this will be a big boost, especially after Rodrigo Bentacur has been injured for three months.
For Chelsea supporters, not as cool to see “their” Gallagher running around in his city rival’s white shirt.
