Chelsea Selling Gallagher To Tottenham Must Be A Joke – Emmanuel Petit

Ex-Chelsea player, Emmanuel Petit has come out to blast owners of the club for considering the sale of Conor Gallagher to Tottenham Hotspur. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Chelsea selling Gallagher to Spurs will be a very funny thing to do this January because he has been one of their best players this season.

Petit added that the owners must start learning from their mistakes as they made the same error with Mason Mount.

His words, “I understand Chelsea’s frustration with Gallagher potentially going to Tottenham. And you know what, I was surprised to read that in the newspapers, I thought to myself, ‘Is it a joke? What’s the point, after asking him to come back from Crystal Palace?’

He was enjoying his life over there, his game over there, he was becoming a different player, and they asked him to come back to the club. They bought thousands of players and now because they need money, they’re going to sell probably one of their best players, and an English player on top of it.

I think they don’t learn from their mistakes because it happened with Mason Mount. So what is the point? I mean, it’s very important for the supporters to get some English players in the team. For me, identity is very important.

If you want to sell Gallagher because you spent more than £1billion on transfers in one year, then you have no idea what you are doing in the club. But on top of it, you are going to sell to Tottenham, your neighbours, one of the biggest rivals in the Premier League? Come on guys!

Is anyone advising Boehly sometimes because I don’t know what’s going on in this club? They should keep Gallagher. Obviously, they want to sell players, they have a lot of players to sell in the dressing room.”
