Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher says he is 'ready' to make the step up to the first team at Stamford Bridge amid rumours linking him with a move to Everton.
The 22-year-old has spent the last three seasons on loan with Swansea City, West Brom and, most recently, Crystal Palace. He is said to have been the subject of interest from the likes of Everton and Aston Villa this summer, but the player himself has now admitted he wants to break into Chelsea's senior set-up.
In an interview with The Guardian, Gallagher revealed he made his intentions known to Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel in a phone call after his impressive spell at Selhurst Park.
