Conor Gallagher laughs off N'Golo Kante comparison as Chelsea eye transfer amid contract limbo

Conor Gallagher has laughed off comparisons to N'Golo Kante after similarities between the two midfielders were found. The former has impressed for Chelsea this season in the latter's absence, earning a call-up to the England World Cup squad.

He is one of three Blues players who will represent the Three Lions in Qatar later this month. Gallagher has featured 18 times for the Blues this term, directly contributing towards two goals from midfield.

While the Cobham graduate has impressed recently, he endured a tough start to the season. First-team minutes were of the essence, and a change of management didn't help the 22-year-old's cause, but he ploughed on and eventually forced his way into the west Londoners' plans.
