Conor Gallagher has joined Chelsea from Crystal Palace for a fee of £44 million, the two clubs have announced.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for some time, and he has now finally made the switch to west London.

Gallagher spent last season on loan at Palace, and he impressed with his performances for the Eagles.

He scored eight goals and provided three assists in 34 Premier League appearances, and he also helped Palace reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Gallagher's performances for Palace earned him a call-up to the England squad, and he made his debut for the Three Lions in November 2021.

The midfielder is now expected to play a key role for Chelsea next season, and he will be hoping to help the Blues win their first Premier League title since 2017.

Gallagher is a talented young player with a bright future, and Chelsea have done well to secure his signature.

He is a versatile midfielder who can play in a number of positions, and he has the potential to be a valuable asset for the Blues.

Chelsea have been looking to strengthen their midfield for some time, and Gallagher is a player who can provide them with creativity and energy.

He is a good passer of the ball, and he is also a good tackler.

Gallagher is a player who can make a difference, and he is a welcome addition to the Chelsea squad.
