The reason why this was a mistake is because Chelsea possess enough players in youngster’s position. It was always going to be an uphill task for Gallagher dislodge the likes of Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic from their starting spots. The fact that the club’s new owners invested heavily into the team meant it was even more difficult for Gallagher to play regularly.
Chelsea are currently in a mess as they are far away from the top four and manager Graham Potter is struggling. This environment can be tough for a young player who is not playing consistently and a loan move would have been the best option for him. He would have played more frequently and also would have been detached from the difficult situation the Chelsea players are currently enduring. It will be interesting to see what happens next for the youngster as it looks impossible for him to force his ways into Potter’s plans with the recent incoming of Enzo Fernandez. The club may lose this player in the summer to another Premier League side however for the lad’s career, that may be the best move for him.
At 23, he needs to be playing consistently as he will also have ambitions to play for England. That can only come into fruition if he is performing on a regular basis.
