Steven Gerrard is reportedly a ‘massive fan’ of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, with rumours of an Aston Villa move picking up pace.
Gallagher has spent the last two seasons on loan away from Stamford Bridge. During the 2020-21 campaign, he played for West Brom.
The Englishman made 32 appearances for the Baggies, registering two goals and two assists, but couldn’t help them avoid relegation to the Championship.
Last term, Gallagher worked under Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace. He improved in front of goal, finding the net eight times and chipping in with five assists.
Gallagher’s energetic displays in midfield saw him become one of Palace’s best performers. He also broke into the senior England squad. He has reached four caps for Gareth Southgate’s team so far.
The 22-year-old is currently training with the Chelsea first team. Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of his and could decide to keep him in West London ready for next season.
But there is also the possibility of another loan move for Gallagher. This will give him the chance to continue his exciting development without the risk of less game time.
On June 27, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed Gerrard admires Gallagher and would like to work with him at Aston Villa.
