Aston Villa are in talks with Chelsea over a deal to sign Mauricio Pochettino favourite Conor Gallagher, according to transfer expert David Ornstein.
Gallagher is expected to leave this summer despite a stellar 2023/24 campaign.
He played 50 of the Blues 51 matches across all competitions and was an indispensable member of Pochettino s squad, captaining the Blues on several occasions due to Reece James injury woes.
The 24-year-old s form is not expected to save him from the cull at Stamford Bridge this summer, with the club s owners willing to sell youth graduates who can be sold for pure profit to help balance the books.
One club s trash is another club s treasure and there is plenty of interest in the England midfielder.
