Every team needs someone like all-action Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
That is according to Blues teammate Djordje Petrovic.
If you want a player that’s going to cover every blade of grass for 90 minutes with high enthusiasm and energy, Conor Gallagher is your perfect fit.
The 24-year-old Blues star is well renowned for his high volume of sprints and distance covered per game.
On top of that, the England international is also a classy footballer that provides goals and creativity from midfield.
Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, 24, has paid teammate Gallagher a huge compliment by claiming every side would appreciate someone like him.
When discussing underrated players at Chelsea, Petrovic told Sky Sports: “Conor… A game against Arsenal I think it was 88th minute he pressed one centre-back, he pressed the goalkeeper. I turned to Reece James, ‘What is that?’. He played 88 minutes and he made the pressure 100/150 metres changing direction. It was crazy. I think he is very good and every team needs a player like Conor.”

Crucial Conor Gallagher
Despite disappointment around the general level of performances and results from Chelsea this season, Gallagher stands out as one of the positive shining lights.
From the outside looking in, he seems like the perfect teammate to play with and player to manage.
Speaking via The Overlap this week, Jamie Carragher insisted Gallagher shouldn’t be sold by Chelsea or caught in the crossfire of any financial problems.
Our similar message to the club is that Gallagher’s the sort of profile we need in the squad and should keep in our long-term vision. Hopefully, a new contract can be arranged between all parties.
