The Blues are said to be unhappy with the approach so early into the season and the prospect of the ex-Liverpool star attempting to \u2018turn the heads\u2019 of players.<\/p>\n<p>The Saudi Pro League have managed to lure numerous top players to the Middle East over the past 12 months, with Riyad Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Neves among a host of clubs to ditch the Premier League in favour of heading further afield.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Etiifaq were able to sign some proven talents of their own, with Gerrard playing a key role in convincing Jordan Henderson, Demarai Gray and former Liverpool star Georginio Wijnaldum to join him in Dammam. However, they have not completed their overhaul and are already looking at players they can prise to Saudi Arabia in January.<\/p>\n<p>According to FootballTransfers, Gerrard recently contacted Chelsea midfielder Gallagher to sound out his interest in acquiring his services and discuss whether the playmaker would be willing to make the move in the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Chelsea boss Pochettino&#8217;s XI would be out of this world if six stars never left[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5010634.jpg?r=1697206098335\"><\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old is said to have \u2018flatly refused\u2019 the approach and is hoping to become a key player at his boyhood club and earn himself a new contract. However, Chelsea have reportedly not taken kindly to Gerrard\u2019s approach given that January is still over two months away.<\/p>\n<p>Pochettino \u2018in particular\u2019 is not happy with the way that the Al-Ettifaq boss has conducted himself and with how he has tried to prise his midfielder away from Stamford Bridge so early into the season. Gallagher has started in all eight of Chelsea\u2019s Premier League fixtures so far this season, being handed the captain\u2019s armband on occasions too.<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
