Crystal Palace have not given up hope of bringing Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher back to Selhurst Park next season.
The midfielder has been a revelation for the Eagles, scoring eight goals and providing five assists after he made a temporary switch from Stamford Bridge last summer.
Gallagher's fine form, alongside his popularity with the Palace faithful, saw him claim the club's Player of the Year award at BOXPARK Croydon on Tuesday and talk of his future was the elephant in the room.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has admitted he would be happy to welcome the 22-year-old back into his first-team squad next season.
