Chelsea fans to show their appreciation for 24-year-old by unveiling banner before Tottenham game

Chelsea fans are set to unveil a banner for Conor Gallagher before the game against Tottenham to show their appreciation for the midfielder.

Gallagher has been one of the Blue’s best performers this season along with Malo Gusto and Cole Palmer, and has captained the side in the absence of the injured Reece James and Ben Chilwell.

The England international’s future at Stamford Bridge is unclear given he is out of contract in 2025, and no talks over a new deal have taken place, which has reportedly alerted the likes of Spurs and Newcastle.

The banner, which will have the message “Chelsea since birth” on it above a picture of Gallagher wearing the captains armband has been organised by fan group We Are The Shed, and is funded by fans.

Chelsea have previously had similar banners for Thomas Tuchel, Thiago Silva and Reece James at Stamford Bridge.

It could be seen as an attempt from supporters to convince the ownership to change their mind on selling Gallagher, by showing them how much the fans like the 24-year-old.

Being homegrown means the midfielder would represent pure profit on Chelsea’s books, which they reportedly need in order to comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

Gallagher has been at Chelsea since the age of eight and his made it clear he wishes to extend his stay his stay at Stamford Bridge, with manager Mauricio Pochettino also keen to keep him around.
