Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is set to return to Chelsea training before expected as the 21-year-old looks to impress new boss Thomas Tuchel ahead of next season.
The youngster spent last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, claiming the University of Wolverhampton Young Player of the Season.
Gallagher’s Instagram story shows the player getting ready for his first day back at Cobham as he shows off his new boots.
The youngster was named Chelsea’s Academy Player of the Year in 2019 and is reportedly keen to show Tuchel what he is made of in pre-season.
However, the midfielder would also be open to another loan move down the line if his chances are limited.
Gallagher will be given a chance to work under Tuchel in pre-season as those who took part in Euro 2020 will not return until a few weeks after the start of pre-season, depending on how far their countries progress in the tournament.
It has been reported that Tuchel will not be taking it easy on the players in pre-season as the German will demand high intensity and work ethic from all those involved to be prepared for the new season.
