Sam Allardyce has warned Conor Gallagher he could become the next Jesse Lingard at Chelsea

Sam Allardyce has claimed that Crystal Palace midfielder Conor Gallagher could end up like Jesse Lingard if he doesn't play regularly for Chelsea when he returns to his parent club next summer.

Gallagher is currently on loan at Selhurst Park, and he has been in breathtaking form for the Eagles this season.

The 21-year-old has scored six goals for the Premier League outfit, including bagging a brace in the side's 3-1 win over Everton on Sunday.
