Conor Gallagher makes Crystal Palace admission amid talks of joining Everton this summer

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is not ruling out a return to Selhurst Park next season even though he admits he has not firmed up his mind yet.

The young English midfielder enjoyed a massive breakthrough season under the guidance of Patrick Vieira and helped Palace to a respectable 12th placed finish in the league.

For his reward, he will get a chance to prove his mettle at Chelsea during pre-season before a decision is made on where next he continues his development. On the evidence of his form, he’ll have plenty of options to select from.

There have been links to Everton where Frank Lampard is looking to bring him in to add quality to his team that desperately stayed up in the Premier League.

And with eight goals and three assists to show for in 34 Premier League games, Conor Gallager is on the upward trajectory and will need to think carefully before deciding his next move.

What the English midfielder said about future

Speaking to TalkSPORT the midfielders said: “I’ll say again at Palace this season, it’s been incredible and I’ve loved every minute of it.

“The fans, players, staff, and Patrick have just been amazing with me. I’ve got to thank them all, it’s been unreal.

“But, you know, the season has just finished and I’ve come straight here to England.

“I know it’s not what you want to hear, it’s boring but I’ve not thought about it and I’m just focused on the four games here with England.”

Will Conor Gllagher return to Palace ?

At this point it looks very uncertain with Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel willing to hand him a chance to see if he can snatch a role in the squad.

Given his impressive performances that has seen him break into the English squad there are a host of clubs who will be looking around to see if they can sign him, and it’s fair to say competition for Conor will be keen than it was last summer.

Palace though will do well to continue their rebuild while keeping an eye on how the current situation with the midfielder pans out naturally.
