Former England and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson has urged Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher to stay and fight for his place at the club next season. It comes as questions have arisen as to where his future lies in the summer.
The 22-year-old has impressed this season, spending a stint on loan with Crystal Palace. In 28 Premier League appearances, the midfielder has scored eight goals and assisted three, though his work-rate and pressing have been his most important asset at times.
This has led to Gallagher receiving an England national team call-up, making his debut for the senior team. Despite talks over his future, Thomas Tuchel has said he believes the player can be part of the squad: “I believe Conor can be a part of our squad and can play a role with us. But I am not the only one to decide. We need to speak after the season with everybody, speak after the season about what Conor wants, we need to see what the situation is and what role we have for him that he can fight for.
