Gallagher is one of the most talented midfielders in the Premier League and has been given a real chance to shine this season under the guidance of former boss Graham Potter.
However – there has been alot of speculation about his future at the club and whether or not he will leave – especially with all the signings that Chelsea have been making over the past few windows.
He was subject of a hefty bid from Premier League strugglers Everton on deadline day, but opted to stay in London and fight for his place, despite the rumours that he was put up for sale.

He then revealed his excitement at working under Pochettino: “He’s a top manager, everyone at Chelsea is happy he’s here and we’re looking forward to working with him,” he said.

Gallagher is a very gifted young man, there is no doubt about that. But does he have the quality to keep world class players on the bench? Can he develop into one of the best in his position?
He may want to stay and fight for his CHELSEA career – but is that the best option?
Nkunku signs –
Christopher Nkunku has revealed he is delighted that he has officially signed with CHELSEA

Speaking to the club’s website, he said: “I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea.
“A big effort was made to bring me to the club and I am looking forward to meeting my new coach and teammates and showing the Chelsea supporters what I can do on the pitch.

CHELSEA made sure that they were the club that signed Nkunku back in January – they will be hoping that he is worth the hassle.
He has proven himself to be a very good player over in the Bundesliga – but he will need to adapt to the Premier League quickly in order to be a success.
This is a good first signing of the season for Chelsea – but they need to carry on and add a few more stars to the side
Maduake decision –
Noni Madueke has been speaking about why he decided to join CHELSEA in January this year.
The Englishman swapped PSV for west London but struggled for game time until the last couple of matches of the season – where he impressed despite tye many poor performances on the pitch.
But despite his early struggles – Maduake has admitted that he is convinced he has made the right decision.
Speaking about the move, he said: “The project here was something I was very aware of and was something I thought was good.
“Chelsea has never really been a project club, just a winning club, but nowadays, you can’t just win without a plan.
“Gone are the days when the big clubs just used to dominate all the time.
“It’s different, you need to strategise, and I feel like that’s what the owners and the staff and the technical staff are doing.”
And Maduake – who worked under Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham – recently revealed that he is looking forward to working under the Argentine boss – Madueke: ‘I think he is a good manager.
‘He has been in big places around the world and he was a great success in the Premier League. I am looking forward to working with and learning from him.’

Maduake showed last season that he can be a very exciting player for the Blues and can make the impact that many had hoped for – so he will be hoping that he can have that success under Pochettino.
He has a long way to go before he is the finished article – but he has certainly made a big impression on the Blues fans already
