Former Tottenham captain Danny Murphy can see Conor Gallagher making it with Chelsea.

Murphy reckons he could be ready to be a first team starter as early as next season as he branded the Crystal Palace loanee 'signing of the summer.'

“I think Conor Gallagher could turn out to be the signing of the season," he told talkSPORT.

“I know he's on loan so he's safe for now Palace fans, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see him in a Chelsea shirt next season.

“Tuchel loves that type of player, he'll be watching him.

“He can score a goal. You've got Jorginho, Kante and Kovacic none of them are that young. They're the three midfielders and none of them can do that.

“Loftus-Cheek plays a little bit, but Gallagher, having the season of his life, if he gets another five, six goals – gets to ten goals in Crystal Palace's midfield – he goes back to Chelsea full of beans."
