Former Chelsea fullback Wayne Bridge is surprised by talk of Conor Gallagher being sold.
Gallagher continues to be linked with Tottenham.
Bridge told BetVictor: "I think it would be really strange if he goes, he's been one of our better players. I'm sure I've heard Poch say he doesn't want him to go. Him with Cole Palmer and Thiago [Silva], who is obviously a leader, I can see the other two maybe being a proper leader in the future.
"I think fans would be fuming if he went. It's good to have British players in the team who have come through the academy. When I first went to Chelsea, there were a lot of British players who got signed.
"I'm not saying they all have to be British but it's good to have a core there. It helps because they know what the Premier League is all about and I like to think they've always got that fight and spirit as well within us.
"I think if he did go, I'd be totally shocked but even Mason Mount leaving to Man United, I was shocked by that and how that unfolded so I guess you never know. But I can't see Chelsea wanting to let him go. It'd be a very strange decision."
