Chelsea fans have multi-transfer theory ahead of window closing after mega £400m spend

Some Chelsea supporters have a theory regarding Bayern Munich's failed move for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.

You might be thinking how does a Fulham midfielder's collapsed move to Bayern have any relevance to Chelsea whatsoever? You'd be forgiven, but some Chelsea fans on Reddit have found a potential domino effect.

Fulham were apparently considering Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg of Tottenham as a replacement for Palhinha. Meanwhile, football.london understands Spurs remain interested in Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher in the final hours of the summer transfer window.

And if Hojbjerg was sold to the Cottagers, then Tottenham would be handed more funds in order to try and test the Blues' resolve when it comes to Gallagher. Plenty of Chelsea fans have been left happy with how things have unfolded, if the domino effect is indeed true.

One user said: «Please be true. Keep our boy at the Bridge». Another said: «Let's go, thanks Hojbjerg».

«Yes please. I know it might suck for club finances but we must be able to find some money elsewhere,» another said. A fellow user on the thread added: «If we need profit, Gallagher will still be worth £40m+ next year».
