An insight into Chelsea’s plans for Conor Gallagher in the 2022/23 campaign has been provided.

As per the Daily Star, Thomas Tuchel wants to strengthen Chelsea’s midfield with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante already in their thirties.

But the German is also said to be looking forward to working with Connor Gallagher, who will be welcomed back from his successful loan spell with Crystal Palace.

It is added that the Londoners will listen to offers for both Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the summer as Tuchel looks to rejig his squad.

So, with two midfielders expected to leave, it appears there will be plenty of room for Gallagher, even if he does have to continue to fight for a spot with Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic.

But given Kante is injury-prone and Chelsea compete in four competitions each season, there should still be plenty of minutes available to Gallagher.

How Conor Gallagher is doing at Crystal Palace

Conor Gallagher would be sent out on loan to Crystal Palace for the 2021/22 season.

At the time, a move for the 21-year-old who had a mixed loan spell with West Brom the season prior made sense.

N’Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic were all clearly ahead of Gallagher in the Chelsea pecking order, whilst Saul Niguez was also brought in from Atletico Madrid.

Since his move to Palace, the central midfielder has been one of the Premier League’s most impressive talents.

In 19 league ties this term, Gallagher has scored seven and assisted three, with his latest strike securing a point vs Palace’s bitter rivals, Brighton.
