The 24-year-old made 50 appearances last season for the Blues, captaining the side under Pochettino – who left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent in May. “Of course he has done so much for me so I was sad,” Gallagher said on Pochettino’s exit. “I’m a Chelsea player right now and like I said I am just focused on England and the tournament,” he said. “When I was 15 or 16 I wasn’t good enough to play for the England youth team,” he revealed. “So I managed to work my way back into the England youth set-up and was lucky enough to stay in it.”
