Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has lauded Conor Gallagher, claiming he 'has not been hard to follow' amid his purple patch on loan at Crystal Palace.
The midfielder has scored three goals and laid on two assists in nine appearances for Patrick Vieira's men since securing a season-long loan to Selhurst Park from the Stamford Bridge outfit.
The England U21 international continued his fine form for Palace last weekend, assisting the first and netted the second in their shock 2-0 win away at Manchester City.
Tuchel has now revealed the plan was for Gallagher to remain as part of his squad for this season until Palace made their interest known, but insists he possesses quality that is 'so big'.
