Conor Gallagher has proven this season that he is one of the most important players at Chelsea right now.
This is something that has been known all along by manager Mauricio Pochettino, with it being claimed since he took over last summer that his coaching staff were massive fans of him.
Many times this season Gallagher has donned the captain’s armband in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell, and he has not let the responsibility of leading the side get to him this season.
Supporters showed their admiration for the midfielder last night with a banner dedicated to him, a gesture he showed he appreciated before the game started.
He repaid the faith in him with another superb performance, picking up another assist as he set up Trevoh Chalobah for the opening goal.
His outing against Tottenham yesterday saw him register his 50th chance created of the season, putting him ahead of a number of top Premier League players in the statistic this season.
Gallagher more chances created than De Bruyne and Havertz
According to Mozo Football, two of those he is ahead of are Kevin de Bruyne and Kai Havertz, players who of course have experience at Chelsea under their belt.
Gallagher still up for sale
The German recently celebrated a couple of goals against his former side, with Arsenal very much involved in a title race at the back end of the season.
Reports are continuing to go around that Gallagher is on the chopping block at the end of this season, with it being exclusively revealed to The Chelsea Chronicle that at this stage he has to accept that he has no future in West London.
That decision seems to get crazier every single game that passes, with the England international proving he is the best compliment the club have to record signing Moises Caicedo right now.
