Crystal Palace sign 22-year-old Gallagher is bound to win the midfield injury-hit Chelsea willing to let go?


As the Premier League is about to enter the fourth round, Crystal Palace ranked 9th in the Premier League standings with 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw. It is reported that Crystal Palace is eager to introduce the 22-year-old who was originally on loan from Chelsea in the Premier League this summer. Conor Gallagher, Crystal Palace has the advantage over other teams in signing the young midfielder, based on the partnership between the two. It is expected that Crystal Palace will successfully reach a transfer agreement with Chelsea for 35 million pounds for Gallagher in recent days, making him the official new aid in the next Premier League.


Gallagher has joined Chelsea's youth academy since he was a child. He is a rare and excellent player and won the UEFA Champions League on behalf of Chelsea in the 2018-2019 season, and won the youth academy player of the year award. After that, Gallagher was loaned to 4 different teams, and he was highly valued by the team coaches in the game. He helped the team contribute 8 goals and 5 assists in 39 games when he was on loan to Crystal Palace last season. 's call.


The England midfielder was also loved by Crystal Palace fans, players and manager Patrick Vieira, who voted Gallagher the best of the season for his on-field efficiency and superior attacking skills Players, you can see that I love him very much. Coach Vieira bluntly expressed his importance to Gallagher, revealing in an interview that he hopes the 22-year-old midfielder can continue to play alongside Crystal Palace in the new season.


However, Gallagher's excellence has not only attracted Crystal Palace, other Premier League clubs have also begun to show interest in him, including Premier League Newcastle United, Everton and West Ham United are all in contact with Gallagher. However, given that Crystal Palace has already established a partnership with the England midfielder, it is expected that even if Gallagher leaves Chelsea, he will eventually choose to play under the high expectations of manager Vieira among the many suitors.


It is understood that the England international has returned to Chelsea this season and made his debut as a substitute midfielder in Chelsea's 1-0 Premier League first-round win over Everton. Following Chelsea's 3-0 thrashing of Leeds United at the weekend, with 28-year-old midfielder Mateo Kovacic and 31-year-old veteran N'Golo Kante sidelined for several weeks through injury, it is predicted that Chelsea Coach Thomas Tuchel will not be willing to release the young midfield substitute at a time when Chelsea are off to a poor start and their midfield line-up is battered by injuries.


However, the return of Chelsea's main midfielder will undoubtedly be a threat to Gallagher, and it will be difficult for the young him to get the chance to start after that. In contrast, his position at Crystal Palace is more solid, because coach Vieira needs his attacking skills, efficient speed and strength to improve the team's overall attacking lineup. And if Chelsea manager Tuchel successfully brings in La Liga Barcelona's 25-year-old heavyweight attacking midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer, then Gallagher's chances of occupying a place in Chelsea's first team in the future are quite slim. .
