He Said:
“A lot was going on in the summer, a big transition in the club, a lot of players coming in, a lot of players leaving. I was lucky enough to stay and be a part of the manager’s plans, whatever he wants me to do I have been doing and I will keep working as hard as possible for him.”

Chelsea star speaks about his experience of wearing the captain’s armband for the club
Conor Gallagher was very impressive in Chelsea’s game against Manchester City. The Blue’s have been struggling in the Premier League this season but put in an outstanding performance against league leaders Manchester City in a 4-4 thriller at Stamford Bridge. Gallagher also got to wear the captain’s armband when Reece James was subbed off. The English star was asked how he felt wearing the captain’s armband and captaining the club.
Gallagher Replied:
“I love when I get to wear the armband. Reece and ‘Chilli’ are captain and vice-captain so whenever I get the chance to it’s an honour. I like the responsibility of wearing the armband. Whenever I get the chance to wear for Chelsea it is a really proud feeling.”
“It gives me a bit more confidence and it shows how the manager thinks of me, and that means a lot to me. The confidence definitely gets bigger from having that responsibility. So hopefully there’s more times I will be able to wear it. [The manager] understands that it is Chelsea, it is an English club and you have to be English speaking so I think that is a big factor in it.”
The Chelsea star has started every Premier League game for the club this season. Gallagher has become a key player for Pochettino. Gallagher has 4 assists in the Premier League this season. He is helping create chances from the midfield this season.
Conor Gallagher is yet just 23 years of age and is already looking like a fantastic talent. He will hope that he keeps getting more opportunities at Chelsea and can develop even further. Gallagher has even been called up for the England squad playing the EURO 2024 qualifiers. Gallagher has well and truly proved himself in recent times and will surely get a new contract at Chelsea very soon.
