Conor Gallagher has shared an emotional farewell message to Crystal Palace fans on Instagram following his return to parent club Chelsea.
The 22-year-old midfielder arrived at Selhurst Park on loan from the Blues last summer and quickly became a fans' favourite thanks to his eye-catching performances from midfield. His eye for a goal and tireless work rate in midfield quickly saw him win the club’s player of the month awards for August and September before earning his first senior England call-up in November.
Gallagher was voted Palace’s player of the season at their awards night in May and finished the season having scored eight goals and contributed five assists in 39 appearances for the Eagles. He is now set to return to Chelsea for pre-season but not before linking up with the Three Lions once again for their UEFA Nations League games against Hungary, Germany and Italy.
