England coach Gareth Southgate is full of praise for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

Southgate has indicated Gallagher will make his Euro2024 squad.

“His journey is really interesting, because with some of our players who have come into the squad young, their talent has been obvious and you would probably have picked them up at 15, 16 or 17," Southgate said.

“But Conor is perhaps a slower burner in terms of how external people might have viewed him.

“He has got tremendous drive. This week is a classic for me. He has come with a bit of a knock from the weekend, but he walked through the door saying, 'It is a bit sore, but I will be fine for Friday'.

“There was no way he was going home, there was no way he wasn't going to give himself every chance.

“He wasn't able to train for the first few days, but he was determined he would be available — and that, in a nutshell, is what is going to be one of his greatest strengths which will allow himself to achieve everything he might in the game. His mentality is outstanding."
