Chelsea legend John Terry has named the player he wants to become the club's permanent captain.
As a result of injury tolls on Ben Chilwell and Reece James, Gallagher has been the main captain at Stamford Bridge. Terry respects the Chelsea homegrown talent's style of captaincy and his efforts every week.
“I like Conor. I’ve known him since he was a young kid. Seeing him now as a Chelsea fan, I look and go ‘if there’s one player I want to represent and wear the armband it’s him for me," said the club legend.
From the perspective of fans, Terry says that fans appreciate players like Conor, who give their best for the club and fight for the badge they carry. Yet, there have been reoccurring speculations about the midfielder's future at Chelsea.
Despite the club's inconsistent and struggling form in the ongoing season, the 24-year-old stands out as one of the few best performers. Even so, he has been second-best to Cole Palmer in terms of performance for the Blues.
Mauricio Pochettino's side currently sit in the 9th domestic league table.
