Former Chelsea assistant manager Jody Morris can see Conor Gallagher leaving this summer.
Morris has been blown away by Gallagher's performances for Crystal Palace this season and reckons the 22-year-old is a sure-fire contender for Young Player of the Season.
And he fears the lack of first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge for a player of Gallagher's ability could force the England ace to search for new pastures elsewhere.
Morris told Ladbrokes: "Conor Gallagher is certainly up there as far as Young Player of the Season is concerned.
"His performances – not only this season at Crystal Palace, but also at Swansea and West Brom – have been unbelievable.
"He's been a top-drawer performer for nearly three years, and he's taken to the Premier League like it's nothing.
"The energy that he gives, the fact that he's chipping in with goals, and how at home he looks on an international stage… there's no reason why Chelsea shouldn't be looking at bringing him into the starting line-up next season.
"I hope they bring him in with the intention of playing him, though; don't just bring him back and keep hold of him to play him for 10 or 15 games, you've got to look to the future.
"A lot of Chelsea fans won't like me saying this, but if you're Conor Gallagher and you're looking at your future, you're thinking, 'no one is guaranteed to play week-in, week-out at Chelsea.'
"Conor would want to know that the manager believes in him and is willing to give him an opportunity to showcase his talent in the first team.
"And, let me tell you, there would be a lot of takers, and I'm talking about serious takers throughout Europe, who'll be keeping an eye on his situation. He's certainly put himself in the shop window."
