Former Aston Villa striker Alan McNally says Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is not good enough to play for Unai Emery’s side.
The England midfielder has been a constant transfer target since the January transfer window. With the Blues desperate to secure a deal to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. With the club reportedly demanding more than £100m. UFABET And with Gallagher’s asking price seen as no less than £40m.
After signing Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Gallagher’s chances of a move away from Old Trafford have been boosted, with Villa among a club interested, but former club McNally believes he is not good enough to play at Villa Park.
“No… no, I don’t think he’s good enough to play for Aston Villa,” McNally said. “He’s a good player, he’s done well, but I can’t understand why he’s in the England team and playing before some other players.”
“And again, that’s Gareth Southgate’s choice. He has to stand by that. I don’t see how Conor Gallagher would make Aston Villa any better. And I’d like to see a player come to my club who is better than Conor Gallagher and that’s how I feel.”
“He’s a good player, he’s done well for himself. But I don’t see him as an Aston Villa player. I don’t know how much he’s worth. But at the same time I don’t see him fitting that number.”
