According to Joe Cole, Gallagher would be a worthy completion for Mateo Kovacic in the starting XI due to his versatility as a box to box midfielder and a 10.
The 21-year-old secured another loan at the start of the summer after spending last term with West Brom.
The midfielder has scored four goals and two assists this season as his performances improved under the tutelage of Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace where he is spending the 2021-22 season on loan.
The youngster earned his first England national team call up during the last international break which has put eyes on him as a huge prospect.
“He can play box-to-box, No.8, he can play with his back to goal, he could play as a No.10,” Cole told JOE.
“He’s better as a No.8/box-to-box and he could even play at Chelsea where Kovacic plays, but he would score more goals than [Mateo] Kovacic.
“Chelsea won’t sell him, Chelsea ain’t silly. Him and [Billy] Gilmour who is out on loan at Norwich. He’s probably gone above Billy because of what he’s done. He’s gone on loan and done it, he’s such a talent.
“He was at West Brom last year and he’s gone through the process. Chelsea have a process where they send the boys out on loan. Mason [Mount] went six months in Holland, a year at Derby and into the first-team.
“They can’t get Gallagher back until the end of the season, but he’ll be one for next season.
“Nice kid, great attitude, great player. He’s going to be a special player.”
