Tottenham resist Conor Gallagher's asking price and Chelsea fans are ready to get their wish

Conor Gallagher does not expect to leave Chelsea in the final hours of the transfer window, talkSPORT understands.

Tottenham have strong interest in Gallagher but reunion appears unlikely ChelseaThe asking price is 50 million pounds.

Ange Postecoglou told reporters on Tuesday that it was Tottenham unlikely to bring in new faces before the end of the window despite being heavily linked with a move for the England international.

But despite Chelsea's willingness to generate pure profits from local talent and balance the books amid concerns over profit and sustainability rules, Gallagher is likely to finish the season at Stamford Bridge.

Blues fans have made it clear that they would be furious if they sold their vice-captain, especially to the club's arch-rivals.

Newcastle showed interest in the 23-year-old during the summer transfer window, but their hands were tied by Financial Fair Play restrictions.

The English star made clear his intention to stay and fight for his place at the club with the new coach. Mauricio Pochettino.

Gallagher has enjoyed more playing time since Pochettino's arrival and has repaid the faith shown in him by the Argentine.

The midfielder has been a Chelsea fan since childhood and has captained the club on multiple occasions this season, but has not thought about moving from west London.

But with just 18 months left on his current contract, his future at the club remains unclear and Chelsea are mulling whether to cash in on the academy graduate.

The alternative is for the Blues to hand Gallagher a bumper new contract with the view that he will be one of the club's driving forces in the Pochettino era.

If a solution has not been found by the end of the season, Spurs could be tempted to return with a lower offer when Gallagher enters the final 12 months of his contract.
