EPL: You have big future – Joe Cole advises Chelsea star against leaving Stamford Bridge

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has advised Conor Gallagher not to leave Stamford Bridge amid the ongoing January transfer window.

Cole told Gallagher that he has a big future at the west London club.

Gallagher, who has been a key part of Mauricio Pochettino’s team this season, has been linked with a move away from the Blues.

The England midfielder has played in all but one of Chelsea’s 27 games so far this season, starting 24 of them.

“Conor Gallagher is a crucial one and is the face of the club,” Cole said when launching the Green Football Weekend at Wembley Stadium.

“He’s a captain in the leadership group, so to take him out of the team now would not be good. If I was advising him, I’d tell him he has a big future at Chelsea.

“I think what Jordan Henderson was to Liverpool, he can be that for Chelsea.”
