Graham Potter will reportedly make a decision soon on the future of Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher.

Gallagher, 22, was bumped into the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge this season after a number of eye-catching spells out on loan.

The box-to-box midfielder has made 24 Blues appearances so far this campaign across all competitions, but it’s quite telling he’s completed 90 minutes just three times.

He actually delivered one of his most encouraging performances on the weekend during Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Jason Cundy described his latest display as “outstanding” and thinks he was the best individual on the pitch.
