Chelsea are reportedly open to offloading midfielder Conor Gallagher in January, as they navigate Premier League spending rules.

The England international, with 18 months remaining on his contract, hasn’t yet been approached for a renewal, sparking rumors of his potential exit.

Chelsea’s recent £400 million spending spree has pushed them close to breaching Profit & Sustainability Rules.

Selling Gallagher, an academy product whose transfer would be immediately profitable, could provide financial leeway for further acquisitions.

Gallagher, who has become a staple in Pochettino’s lineup and captained Chelsea on several occasions, was previously on Tottenham’s radar last summer.

With Spurs’ squad struggling with injuries, the Daily Mail suggests they would renew their interest if Gallagher became available.
