The news that Mauricio Pochettino had left his role as Chelsea manager no doubt came to a shock to some just days after last season came to an end.
The Argentine had steered the Blues into European football for the upcoming campaign, however they did drop down to the Europa Conference League after Manchester United’s FA Cup win.
A strong end to the campaign which saw individual players such as Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo reach top gear saw them finish in the European places, a few months after it looked an unrealistic expectation.
Pochettino was swiftly relieved of his duties though, with him now replaced by Enzo Maresca after a successful season at Leicester City.
O’Hara told TalkSPORT that he believes something done by Todd Boehly off the pitch is why Pochettino has decided the project is not for him.
O’hara says Conor Gallagher sale forced Pochettino out
He said: “I think part of the reason Mauricio Pochettino left Chelsea is because Todd Boehly has said that the club are selling Gallagher.
I think Tottenham should go all in for his signature, he has one year left on his contract and they’d be able to get him for about £50 million.”
Reports recently have stated that there are still a number of sides interested in signing Conor Gallagher this summer.
Aston Villa want Gallagher
The most prominent side in the race at this stage is Aston Villa, with manager Unai Emery reportedly excited about the prospect of adding him to their ranks.
A swap deal could come of interest to both sides after reports have continued to link the Blues with a deal for Jhon Duran.
It has even been claimed that a deal has been agreed between the two clubs for the 20-year-old, however it remains to be seen if the Blues decide to pay the big money required to bring him in this summer.
