Conor Gallagher, a star for Chelsea, made a joke about what he said to West Ham during negotiations.
Both David Moyes and co-owner David Sullivan publicly stated they intended to acquire at least two midfielders to replace Declan Rice after West Ham lost him.
West Ham was attempting to arrange a deal with Chelsea below the Blues’ £40 million asking price.
However, the player’s declaration of his intentions around the end of last month effectively ended any chance of a move.
And the biggest joke of the summer transfer season is now what Chelsea star Gallagher said to West Ham during negotiations.
The funniest joke of the summer transfer season is what Chelsea star Conor Gallagher told West Ham during negotiations.
The midfielder made it plain he wanted to stay at Stamford Bridge and compete for a spot in the starting XI, as revealed by outlets like The Daily Mail when West Ham was in talks with Chelsea about Gallagher.
In three weeks, Gallagher will likely be asking himself, “What was I thinking?”
Because Chelsea has added Moises Caicedo to their staggering transfer spending spree for a new British record of £115 million. And now they’re about to pay about £50 million to acquire Romeo Lavia from Southampton.
With £106m Gallagher’s dismissal of West Ham now appears to have been a hilarious error of judgment because Enzo Fernandez is the primary midfielder for Chelsea.
