Gallagher, 20, is highly rated at Chelsea and was our Academy Player of the Year in the 2018/19 season. He had two successful loan spells in the Championship last season; Charlton Atheltic in the first half of the season where he scored 6 and created a further 4 and Swansea in the second half of the season where he was instrumental with 7 assists as Swansea reached Championship playoff.
Gallagher came off the bench in a recent friendly against Brighton Hove Albion and was impressive in this short cameo.
