The all-action midfielder, who is in the England squad for Euro 2024, is wanted by Tottenham.
Speaking to Betway, he said: "How many English players are actually in Chelsea’s dressing room? Not many who play for the first team
"It’s so important for English fans to see English players on the pitch. In my time with Arsenal, the back four were typical English players, and it was very important because they were the identity of the club.
"I know that identity is not there anymore in football, but come on, do you think Gallagher is the first one you have to sell? When I look at the squad, I think there are a lot of players to sell before him."
