Chelsea reject chance to sign impressive Premier League midfielder as he is too old
TalkSPORT claims that Chelsea was offered Palhinha as a replacement for top target Moises Caicedo, but the Blues turned down the offer because the 28-year-old did not fit the age profile Chelsea was looking for.
The Portuguese superstar’s performances last season for Fulham made him one of the league’s most notable players, earning him significant interest from clubs during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea will keep looking for Caicedo, but it doesn’t appear that the Brighton star will be joining them anytime soon. The source claims that West Ham, whose initial £40 million offer for Palhinha was turned down by their London rivals, may shortly make a new offer for the player.
The Hammers are looking to replace Declan Rice and see the Fulham star as a good substitute. The Cottagers will f ι ght to keep or at least maximize their return on one of last year’s most valuable assets: a star player.
Chelsea set £40 million asking price for Conor Gallagher
Football Transfers reports that Chelsea are willing to sell the 23-year-old midfielder this summer, but the Blues will ask for more than £40 million in compensation.
The 23-year-old has not been able to secure a starting berth at Stamford Bridge and hence has to leave the club.
Several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, have expressed interest in the youngster.
Whether or not his admirers are willing to part with that type of money for him is still up in the air.
Tottenham needs to strengthen their center midfield, and they may have found a gem in Gallagher.
The 23-year-old is a hard worker and will provide Tottenham with defensive protection in the middle of the field.
The Chelsea midfielder is still young and has plenty of room to grow under new management. With time and experience in the Premier League, he has the potential to become a pivotal player for Tottenham. The midfielder will try to get his career back on track by playing regularly after a stellar loan stint at Crystal Palace. At the same time, West Ham United needs to strengthen its midfield.
The Hammers have recently approved Declan Rice’s transfer to Arsenal, and they will need to find a suitable replacement for the 24-year-old.
The Hammers will need to replace Rice, who has emerged as one of the league’s top midfielders.
Gallagher is a different type of player than Rice, but he might still be a good addition for West Ham.
In addition to Gallagher, the Hammers need to sign a solid defensive midfielder.
The 23-year-old Chelsea midfielder has a lot of options, and he could make a big splash at either Tottenham or West Ham.
It rҽmains to be seen if clubs like Tottenham and West Ham are willing to spend £40 million on the 23-year-old in the coming weeks, despite the fαct that he has the talent to justify the cost in the coming seasons.
