[Sports] 'I'm buzzing, can't wait to start' - Chelsea midfielder reacts after joining EPL rivals

 

Chelsea midfielder, Conor Gallagher, has said that he was 'buzzing' after joining Premier League rivals, Crystal Palace, on a season-long loan.

Gallagher is yet to play a senior game for Chelsea and wants to continue his development after spending last season on loan at West Brom.

The 21-year-old will compete for Crystal Palace throughout the 21/22 season.

Reacting after completing his move, Gallagher told Crystal Palace's club website on Friday, "I'm buzzing to be here.

"I can't wait to get started, I am happy to get the deal over the line.

"I spoke to the manager, I liked what he said, I liked how he wants to play, how he wants me to play and how he wants the team to play. I feel like I can learn from him and the players around me."

Gallagher scored two goals in 32 appearances for West Brom last campaign.

The youngster has previously spent time on loan at Charlton Athletic and Swansea City in the  Championship.
