Gallas does not understand why Chelsea felt the need to sell Conor Gallagher

Legendary French national team player William Gallas has expressed his confusion over Chelsea's decision to sell Conor Gallagher.

«The sale of Conor Gallagher was one of the biggest mistakes of the transfer window. I have no idea why the club decided to sell him. He was the captain of the club, and it's very important to have English players in the squad. Right now, they probably have just two English players in the starting line-up, especially with Reece James injured.

Selling one of your leaders to Atletico is something that's hard to understand. He was very important to the team and should have stayed», — Gallas stated in an interview with Gambling Zone.

Last season, Gallagher appeared in 50 matches across all competitions, where he contributed seven goals and nine assists.
