Carragher confused by Gallagher to Spurs rumours

Pundits’ responses to these speculations have already been strong. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, for example, urged the Chelsea management not to sell Gallagher (Amazon Prime Sport – 7:08 pm, December 27).

The Dutchman made the point that the midfielder is not only an important member of Mauricio Pochettino’s team, but he also brings a wealth of leadership qualities to the group.

As an illustration of the Blues’ owners’ stupidity, Carragher has emerged as the most recent commentator to cast doubt on the rationale behind selling Gallagher.

Given all of the harsh feedback from supporters and commentators, one would hope that the Chelsea board would not modify their position on Gallagher. Tottenham might want to try to close a deal as quickly as possible because the 23-year-old might not present itself to them again.
