Conor Gallagher 'to be handed opportunity to earn a first-team place at Chelsea next season' when his loan spell at Premier League strugglers West Brom comes to an end

Conor Gallagher will be handed a chance by Thomas Tuchel to prove he is good enough for the Chelsea first-team next season, according to reports.

The 21-year-old midfielder is currently out on loan at West Bromwich Albion this season and has started all but three of the Baggies' Premier League matches under Sam Allardyce.

Gallagher earned his top-flight move after impressing for Charlton and Swansea in the Championship last season and is hoping to join the likes of Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham in earning promotion to Chelsea's first-team after being loaned out.
