Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is set for crunch talks with Conor Gallagher about next season.

The Sun says Tuchel will hold talks with Gallagher over his Chelsea future amid interest from Crystal Palace.

The midfielder, 22, enjoyed a stunning loan spell at Selhurst Park this season, scoring eight goals in 34 Premier League appearances.

Gallagher's fine form resulted in an England debut last year.

And Palace are now eager to sign the ex-Charlton, Swansea and West Brom loanee permanently.

But reports claim Gallagher is “highly rated" by Chelsea boss Tuchel.

And the German wants "direct discussions" with the Cobham product before deciding on his next move.
