Gallagher has been in impressive form for Crystal Palace on loan this season and is currently their top scorer in the Premier League with eight goals from 22 appearances. The loanee has managed to take his game to another level and is now touted to be the next big player to leave Stamford Bridge.

Thanks to his exploits, Palace sit 11th in the Premier League.

However, he reportedly has no intentions of staying at Palace and informed Ferdinand earlier this season that he wanted to succeed at Chelsea. The Manchester United legend tipped the loanee to follow Mount’s path and said:

Ferdinand added:

The Manchester United legend believes the midfielder should be bullish about it in training and force himself into Thomas Tuchel’s thoughts.

The former defender spoke highly of the midfielder in his recent FIVE video. He said:

What do Chelsea have planned for Conor Gallagher?

The Blues are yet to decide on Gallagher’s future, and Tuchel has insisted that this is not the right time to discuss the subject. The German manager wants the midfielder to complete his loan at Palace and head back to Stamford Bridge for pre-season training in the summer.

Reports suggest Tuchel wanted to keep the midfielder as part of his first-team squad but the loan offer from Palace was too good to turn down. The move has worked well for all parties as Gallagher has made massive strides with respect to his development at Selhurst Park.
