The Blues midfielder can boast having some of the best former players as mentors in his loan season with the Eagles
Conor Gallagher is looking to add both leadership and goals to his game in order to play more like his hero Frank Lampard.
Crystal Palace and manager Patrick Vieira signed Gallagher on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea amid competition from both Leeds and Newcastle.
