Legendary PL midfielder believes Chelsea loanee is the real deal

Conor Gallagher proving Patrick Vieira right as Chelsea loanee stars against Manchester City

According to Football.London, Chelsea management has a big decision to make on the future of Conor Gallagher as Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira believes he has what it takes to perform at the top level. 

After coming through the ranks of the Chelsea academy, Gallagher has enjoyed a number of loan spells at several clubs. He has gained a lot of experience through his ventures. Currently, he is at Crystal Palace on a season-long loan and continues to garner eyeballs with his performances.

Speaking ahead of the weekend’s set of games Vieira gave a glowering appraisal of Gallagher’s potential and work ethic. The Arsenal legend appears to have a high opinion of the player and admits he is a joy to work with.

Vieira’s team has created unrest in the table, defeating Manchester City at the Etihad this weekend. The Eagles stifled the defending champions on their home turf with Gallagher playing a key role.

He was everywhere on the pitch, and his work rate and effort overwhelmed the Blues midfield. Gallagher would score Palace’s second goal on the night, cementing all three points at one of English football’s toughest venues.

Chelsea’s prime target for the next transfer window is to sign players for the midfield position. They have eyes on Declan Rice and Aurelien Tchouameni. Gallagher could very well help the club save a few million quid if he keeps up his performances.

Mason Mount has shown that academy graduates can make a name for themselves in the first team if they take their chances. Whether Gallagher follows in his footsteps remains to be seen.
