Chelsea ace Conor Gallagher update emerges amid Everton, Tottenham and West Ham United links
Conor Gallagher, who turned down Everton in January, is reportedly set to leave Chelsea this summer amid Tottenham and West Ham links.
According to the Athletic [16 June], Brighton are also interested in signing the 23-year-old and the Blues are open to cashing in on him.
It’s been reported that West Ham and Brighton hold the advantage over Spurs as they can offer the England international European football.
Forget about it
The chance for Everton to sign Gallagher has passed and there’s no reason why he will not reject them again after doing so in January.
West Ham and Brighton can offer him European football while Spurs can blow the other teams keen with the wages that they can shell out.
Everton are in no financial situation to get into bidding wars with other Premier League sides this summer and they’ve got be canny with their incomings.
This is where the club’s scouting network will be put to good use as they’re going to have to unearth gems that are currently under the radar.
That’s going to be a hard ask given how poor the recruitment has been in recent seasons and it remains to be seen if Sean Dyche can salvage this window.
With Bill Kenwright facing an uncertain future and a number of board members leaving the club for good, Everton appear to have bigger issues to resolve first.
