The Blues have rejected a 51 million dollar bid from West Ham for the midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Conor is currently in the USA with the London club on their pre-season tour, where the new manager Mauricio Pochettino shared that they don’t have enough players in the midfield for the upcoming campaign.

However, the Blues can be ready to let the player leave if the Hammers offer around 54 million dollars, and it’s up to the West Ham if they will improve their offer as they must add a player in place of Declan Rice, who joined the Gunners in a mega deal for more than 120 million dollars.
In the past campaign, Gallagher played 18 matches in the Premier League for the London club, as Chelsea rejected another offer for him during the winter transfer window – 58 million dollars from Everton.
Tottenham are also keen to sign Conor if Chelsea are willing to sell.
