Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino admits that Conor Gallagher enjoys playing for him.

The Argentine was asked about Gallagher, who is being linked with a move away from the club, during his pre-game press conference.

Pochettino stated: “Some coaching staff get jealous. He made a reference to Poch, but that is because it's easy. He means the whole coaching staff.

“Jesus [Perez, assistant coach], do you love him? [Perez nods and says 'I do'.]"

He then added on Gallagher possibly leaving the club in the summer: “I take the best decision for the team and for the club.

“If I believe Conor deserves to play, that is my job. To perform and to win games, that is my main job."
