Chelsea have been slammed for wanting to sell one of their senior players to a direct rival in the Premier League.
Various reports in England claim Gallagher could be on his way to Tottenham Hotspur, with the Blues willing to offload the player for £35 million.
Despite the disappointing campaign, Gallagher has been one of the Blues' more important players this season and has donned the captain's armband in the absence of Reece James.

Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit is not happy with how the club is being run in the transfer window.
"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?'," Petit told DAZN Bet, as per Goal.
"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," he continued.
"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."
