Gabriel Agbonlahor has told Chelsea to sell Conor Gallagher amid recent links to Liverpool, with the England international tipped to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
Speaking on TalkSport, the pundit listed the 23-year-old midfielder as one of eight players Chelsea should look to sell, with Agbonlahor also mentioning Mason Mount, a player who has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool as the Blues struggle to tie the playmaker down to a new contract.

The former Aston Villa striker said: “Loftus-Cheek, for me, I would get rid of. Mason Mount, I wouldn’t give him a new contract. Conor Gallagher, I would get rid of. Aubameyang is an easy to get rid of, and for Pulisic I would say ‘bye-bye’.”
With Chelsea set for a mass squad overhaul this summer, selling Gallagher makes a lot of sense for the Blues, with the midfielder only now becoming a regular for the west London side under interim manager Frank Lampard, a run that is likely to end this season.
Agbonlahor’s Chelsea rant should wake Liverpool up to Gallagher
Gallagher is considered by many as one of the most talented players on Chelsea’ books and a youngster who could arguably play a role at most Premier League sides at the top of the table. And for Liverpool, the Reds have to consider a move for the midfielder this summer.
Liverpool’s midfield is a position that is set for mass changes in the coming weeks, and with Gallagher set for the chop at Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp and his transfer team will be making some smart moves if they were to make an attempt to bring the England international to Anfield in the transfer window.
