Gallagher, who has one year left on his contract, is reportedly a target for Tottenham and West Ham, with a potential transfer fee of £50 million.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Cole stressed how well Gallagher understands Chelsea’s culture and praised his consistent performances.
Cole stated that if he could speak directly to the club’s owners, he would tell them that Gallagher is perhaps the most crucial player in the team’s dressing room because of his contributions both on and off the pitch.

Cole highlighted Gallagher’s resilience, noting that he always shows up and pushes his team forward, demonstrating bravery and determination. Cole believes keeping Gallagher is vital for Chelsea.
Gallagher has been a key player for Chelsea, missing only one Premier League match this season due to suspension. With many key players injured, he has been a reliable presence on the field.
Under manager Mauricio Pochettino, Gallagher has shown versatility by playing in different roles, including defensive midfield, advanced positions, and even on the wing.
Cole’s public plea reflects the high regard in which he holds Gallagher, urging the club to recognize his significance and ensure he remains at Stamford Bridge.
