Chelsea’s Gallagher Impresses, Sparks Debate with Casemiro Comparison:
Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has sparked discussion by suggesting Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher could be a more valuable asset than Manchester United’s Casemiro.
Gallagher has enjoyed a strong season for Chelsea, contributing goals and displaying consistent energy.
Agbonlahor believes this dynamism gives him an edge over Casemiro, who has faced injury struggles and disciplinary issues this season.
Agbonlahor cites Gallagher’s impressive performance in Chelsea’s 3-1 win against Crystal Palace, where the midfielder ran a remarkable 13 kilometers, showcasing his tireless work ethic.
This attribute, according to Agbonlahor, surpasses what Casemiro currently offers.
Gallagher’s performances have attracted interest from other clubs, with reports suggesting Tottenham Hotspur are keen on acquiring him.
His current market value is estimated at £50 million, but with his contract expiring in 2025, this figure could potentially decrease if not renewed.
This potential drop in value highlights the importance for Chelsea to address Gallagher’s contract situation.
Failure to secure an extension could see them face bids from Tottenham and potentially other Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window.
