Reportedly, Chelsea is considering selling Conor Gallagher during the upcoming January transfer window, despite his substantial contributions to Mauricio Pochettino’s team this season. Gallagher, a vital midfielder, stepped up in the absence of Reece James due to injuries and suspensions, even captaining the team on multiple occasions.

Micah Richards and Shay Given have debated that Phil Foden should be utilized more often in the central role after his impressive display during Manchester City’s 2-1 victory against Luton last Sunday. Following Erling Haaland’s injury, Julian Alvarez stepped in as the team’s number nine, and Foden was assigned the attacking midfielder role—a position he occupied throughout his academy career. Despite Foden expressing his preference for playing as a No. 10, Pep Guardiola has frequently deployed him on the wing, especially with Kevin De Bruyne injured this season, granting Foden the chance to cut inside from the flank. In the…

Mauricio Pochettino expressed hope that Reece James’ recent hamstring injury wouldn’t be severe. The Chelsea captain suffered a setback during their 2-0 defeat against Everton. Pochettino emphasized the need for additional players in the January transfer window, despite the club’s significant £435 million expenditure on players during the summer.
