​Chelsea loanee Gallagher learning from tough West Brom experience

Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher is hoping he can continue to learn from the difficult moments he is experiencing in his career.

The 21-year-old is set to experience relegation with West Bromwich Albion at the end of this season.

His fortunes have not been any better at international level, with England likely to exit from the group stages of the Under-21 European Championships in Slovenia.

But Gallagher hopes to learn from these experiences.

"Everyone throughout their careers has a lot of tough moments," he said, per Goal.com.

"You experience losing and things like that and you improve. We as young players, no matter what, will get experience from it.

"I was excited to play in the Premier League after a step up from Championship last season. I've loved every minute of it. Hopefully I'll keep developing and improving. It's been a tough season for West Brom so far, so doing the dirty side of the game, the importance of work off the ball [is important].

"Premier League quality will punish you if you switch off, so you need to be concentrated and focused. I know people have other views on players going on loan and I've been at three different teams, but it's three different experiences and teams with [different] styles, different managers and players.

"I've learnt a lot already in two years. Hopefully I can continue to learn as a player."
