Former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit has hit out at the Premier League west London club over their treatment of midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer transfer window.
Gallagher is the subject of a £34 million transfer to Atletico Madrid, who are reportedly close to signing the midfielder.
Several reports suggested that the Blues had initially offered the England international a two-year contract extension with an option for a third.
However, Petit believes Gallagher deserves more than what’s happening to him at Chelsea.
Speaking with Android Poker Apps (as revealed by The Sun) Petit said: “Chelsea should try to keep Conor Gallagher. In modern football, sometimes you don’t have an Englishman in the starting XI and the Blues need his English presence in the squad.
“It really reminds me of the Mason Mount situation; both players were happy to stay at the club and both have been forced out.
“He [Gallagher] deserves more than what’s happening to him with Atletico Madrid. Gallagher belongs in England.”
