Conor Gallagher never imagined playing abroad when he was younger. And why would he? He was, as the massive tifo supporters brought to Stamford Bridge last season read, “Chelsea since birth”. He was certainly Chelsea since he was six, since he started training with their academy. He was Chelsea when on loan at Charlton and Swansea, West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace. He was Chelsea when he spent much of last season with the captain’s armband on, playing the most minutes.
