Chelsea are hoping that Crystal Palace loanee Conor Gallagher can step up into the first-team at Stamford Bridge next season.
And, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to the news on social media.
Gallagher has made quite the impression at Selhurst Park following his season-long loan move in the summer.
The 21-year-old was named man of the match against Brentford, scored twice in a 2-2 draw with West Ham and registered an assist in a 3-0 win over Tottenham.
As a result, the midfielder was named Palace’s Player of the Month for August, however, a permanent move to the club doesn’t look likely.
According to Eurosport, cited by The Daily Express, Chelsea have total belief in Gallagher and will reward him with a first-team opportunity under Thomas Tuchel next season if he continues his impressive form under Patrick Vieira.
