Gallagher met fortune under Patrick Vieira to have emerged the top Scorer with six league goals.
His goal helped in causing ruin to Manchester City’s unbeaten run in October. He also scored two goals in their last league tie against Wolves.

“This one would be a bridge too far to let him go. He does one thing that Chelsea haven’t got. He’s a goalscoring midfielder and more centrally. They’ve got lots of wide players who can chip in with goals.”
“Sometimes Mason Mount can sometimes play a bit more central, Hudson-Odoi can come inside you could argue but he’s an attacking midfielder. He’s like NGolo Kante with goals.”
He added: “When that description was mentioned by Tuchel he’s got goals. He does so many good things for the side but I think he can do what Kante can do and give you a return of goals.”
“I’ d be amazed if Tuchel doesn’t have him back next season ready to fight for a place in that starting line-up.”
