West Bromwich Albion captain Jake Livermore has tipped Conor Gallagher to become a 'top player'.

The Chelsea midfielder has made five appearances for the Baggies this season.

"Conor's been fantastic for me," Livermore told the club's website.

"His energy levels and quality in training every day is a steal for us and I'm tipping him to be a top, top player.

"He wants to learn and has great ability going forward, but on the flip side he's more than responsible at tracking back and he's just got bags of energy.

"The athleticism that he's got is what the game is becoming now and he's got that in abundance.

"He's been very impressive and I think he can be a really important player for us this season."
