Former Chelsea player and manager Frank Lampard is eyeing a move for Blues’ midfielder Conor Gallagher this summer, according to reports. The 22-year-old has impressed this season, having spent it on loan with Crystal Palace.
In that time, the Cobham graduate has made 32 Premier League appearances, scoring eight and assisting three for the Eagles in a successful campaign that has seen them not only survive but thrive under Patrick Vieira. Gallagher has been a key component of the Frenchman’s success, earning a debut England national team callup and appearance in that time.
However, with a return to Stamford Bridge looming, questions still surround his future at the club. Manager Thomas Tuchel has already said that he will take a look at him, as well as other loanees, during the pre-season.
