Chelsea's Conor Gallagher has spoken about his admiration for the club's new signing Raheem Sterling.

Gallagher, who was on loan at Crystal Palace last season, will be hoping to impress manager Thomas Tuchel.

Aside from finding his own role within the team, Gallagher is looking forward to playing with fellow England star and former Manchester City winger Sterling.

During an interview with the BBC, he stated on Sterling: "I think it's brilliant. It will only benefit Chelsea and himself.

"Everyone's very excited for him to be playing and I know the fans are very excited as well. He's a great professional, very relaxed off the pitch, and does the right things.

"I feel like the young lads feel like they can talk to him as well because he's got a lot of experience in England and in the Premier League. So yeah, it's a massive signing, and I'm sure he's going to do his thing when he's here."
