Ex-Chelsea player urges Liverpool to buy Conor Gallagher

"Conor Gallagher is an outstanding attacking midfielder who always looks like he’s going to get a goal or make an assist," former Chelsea player Tony Cascarino told talkSPORT.

"I like him because I don’t think there’s too many of his type around. Liverpool, for me, if they had a player like that as well adding him behind their front three, with his ability to get goals. Chelsea would never sell him to Liverpool, but they’d do really well with him.

"Conor Gallagher will get goals. Whether or not he will get his chance at Chelsea, I don’t know. No-one at Chelsea can do what he does.

"But it depends if Thomas Tuchel wants to play that kind of player in his system. I hope he does give him a chance."

The on-loan Chelsea midfielder has scored eight goals in 25 league games for Crystal Palace this season.

It is very unlikely Chelsea would sell him. Gallagher is expected to fight for the place in the first team next season.
