Conor Gallagher has refused to rule out the possibility of going back out on loan as he returns to Chelsea from his season-long stint at Crystal Palace.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell at the Eagles last term, starting in all but four Premier League matches as they finished 12th, just three points off a top-half place. This was after Gallagher spent the entirety of the 2020/21 season at West Bromwich Albion, while he has also had loans at Charlton Athletic and Swansea City in the past.
However, Gallagher is now set to return to the Blues for pre-season in July as he hopes to break into the first-team and cement a regular spot in the side. Thomas Tuchel has promised to give the England international the chance to fight for his place after the pair had a meeting at the end of the season.
