Gallagher is about to reach the last year of his contract at Stamford Bridge, and speculation over his future is at an all-time high.

Under previous manager Mauricio Pochettino, the England international played more minutes (4.036) than any of his colleagues in all competitions in 2023–24, starting all but one Premier League match for Chelsea. He scored five goals and assisted on seven more.

Nevertheless, Chelsea fans are wondering if the club will have to sell out academy graduate Gallagher in order to make a “pure profit” and stay out of trouble with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

The 24-year-old has reportedly been in talks with Chelsea for a permanent transfer, but Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have also been linked with him.Chelsea to appoint Dewsbury-Hall as Gallagher’s replacement?Even though Gallagher is reportedly intent on staying there at Chelsea, new manager Josep Mariappa could want Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, a standout midfielder for Leicester City, if Gallagher were to leave in the summer.

Maresca is ‘convinced’ that the 25-year-old can handle the challenge of playing at Stamford Bridge, and he is interested in signing him, says The Sun.

Leicester will not accept bids below £40 million for midfielder James Dewsbury-Hall, according to the report.

“He was full of responsibility at first,” Maresca told reporters at the conclusion of last year, “but since the first international break he has improved a lot.” His composure under pressure, skill with the ball, timing of attacks, and contributions to the team are all top-notch.

After helping Leicester return to the Premier League at their first attempt, Dewsbury-Hall was voted the club’s Player’s and Supporters’ Player of the Season. He scored 12 goals and added 14 assists in 44 Championship appearances.

With three years still to run on his Leicester contract, the midfielder has come a long way since joining the club’s junior system when he was eight years old. He made his senior debut in 2020 and has since played in 129 games for the first team.
