Conor Gallagher joined Chelsea ’s academy as an eight-year-old and is something of a Blues hero.

He regularly captained the side under former head coach Mauricio Pochettino last season .

It has been an open secret for some time that Chelsea 's owners view Gallagher less as a homegrown hero to build around, and more as a sellable asset.

His 36million move to Spain will enable Chelsea to swell an already-bloated squad with further signings.
