Surprisingly Chelsea have spent more than £200m on midfield re-enforcement but it is home-grown Gallagher that has impressed the most.

He was pivotal again over the weekend and told reporters at the England camp that he was certain that a deal would be reached for a new deal soon.

The midfielder is quoted by the Evening Standard: “I’m sure that will get sorted out, everyone knows Chelsea is my club and I love playing for them.

“The fans are brilliant and I’m loving it right now and I’m sure it will get itself sorted out.”

Spurs though were reluctant to meet Chelsea Chelsea’s £45million and would have regretted especially seeing how pivotal he’s been under new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
