Glen Johnson believes Conor Gallagher is still not good enough to get into Chelsea's starting XI despite his impressive performances out on loan this season.
The 22-year-old has stood out while at Crystal Palace, scoring eight Premier League goals and catching the eye with his creativity and terrific work-rate high up the pitch.
This season's plaudits come after a stint out on loan at West Brom in 2020-21 but despite clamours for parent club Chelsea to keep Gallagher in the first-team squad next season, ex-Blues defender Johnson insists the midfielder should head out on loan once again.
