Conor Gallagher, a top player for Chelsea, is preparing for the match of his life.
A few Chelsea players could play in tonight’s Euro 2024 final between England and Spain.
While Marc Cucurella is nearly guaranteed to start for Spain, Conor Gallagher’s England colleague Cole Palmer is another Blues player who may make an appearance on the pitch.
Throughout the competition, the left-back has been an important member of his nation’s team.
As he has done for most of the tournament, Gallagher is anticipated to start the game on the bench. Gareth Southgate, nevertheless, has praised Palmer and Gallagher’s contributions as stand-ins.
Lee Bowyer is unsurprised by Conor Gallagher’s current situation.
During Gallagher’s loan period at Charlton Athletic, Lee Bowyer was the midfielder’s manager. The 47-year-old is not surprised by the level at which his former player has now arrived.
Bowyer remarked to Gallagher in a message he delivered on Sunday via the Mail (page 99, 14/07/2024): “We took you from Chelsea and watched this 19-year-old kid become a leader.”
People respected you because of your fervour. You were already advocating for yourself. I see why Gareth Southgate looks to you to encourage someone to walk around the pitch and make contact.
Conor Gallagher should be happy with the direction his career is taking.
It’s likely that Gallagher dreamed of his current situation.
Gallagher, an England international who is 24 years old, might participate in tonight’s European Championship final.
He is currently playing for his boyhood club, one of the best teams in the world, and he even captained them several times during the last campaign.
All he needs now is a trophy, which, should everything go as planned for England, he might earn later on.
A Chelsea one would be fantastic as well, but the club could have to trade Gallagher this summer due to the expiration of his contract.
Gallagher’s transfer to Atletico Madrid has been suggested, and Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Atletico would be a better fit for Gallagher than Chelsea.
