‘Extraordinary player, he will be part of my squad next season’ – Tuchel says of player ahead of next season
Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been the main man in the middle of the park for Crystal Palace, and the energy he brings to the midfield is extraordinary.
However, Thomas Tuchel has admitted that the 22-year-old midfielder will be a part of the Chelsea team next season.
“I believe Conor can be a part of our squad and can play a role with us. But I am not the only one to decide,” said Tuchel.
“We need to speak after the season with everybody, speak after the season about what Conor wants, we need to see what the situation is and what role we have for him that he can fight for.
“There needs to be something to fight, a role and perspective of where you are, where you can be, what you need to achieve. So we have to be very clear with him and he needs to be clear with us. Then we will sort it out. His development is extraordinary and outstanding.
“He is one of the key players at Crystal Palace and made a huge step in his development up front.
“He was a pleasure to coach in pre-season – he has so much positive energy, energy in general, and such work rate to give that he can have a big influence.”
