Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has certainly been one of the biggest positives in the club’s season so far.
Conor Gallagher, who’s still only 23, is emerging as a really important player in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The all-action central midfielder has started all eight Premier League games so far this campaign, even standing in as captain on a few occasions.
He’s certainly passing the eye test when you watch his individual performances. There’s statistics to back that up, too.
Career-best passing
The Athletic has shared the details of the Chelsea midfielder’s form since Pochettino took charge in the summer as head coach.
Gallagher’s completing an 88.6 per cent passing success this season, which is a career-best statistic for him. It beats his record of 81.1 per cent in the 2022/23 campaign.
In addition, the Chelsea star is averaging 12 more passes per 90 minutes (60.9) than he ever has in his career.
We’re delighted to see Gallagher step up into a senior role since Pochettino took charge.
The Daily Mail recently claimed that Chelsea are preparing to hold talks soon with Gallagher regarding his future. Hopefully, the outcome is a positive one.
If Gallagher keeps up this level of performance, he’s going to continue winning over the fanbase.
The Blues academy graduate is slowly beginning to show his quality as part of a new-look midfield trio alongside Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, which is starting to look pretty formidable.
