Chelsea to decide Conor Gallagher and Broja transfer futures in pre-season with Tuchel giving duo chance to impress him

THOMAS TUCHEL will give Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja the chance to impress him in pre-season.

The two Chelsea loanees have impressed at their respective clubs this year.

In 37 appearances for Crystal Palace, Gallagher has scored eight goals and assisted five, earning him England recognition.

Meanwhile, Broja has scored nine goals and recorded one assist in 38 appearances for Southampton.

Many Chelsea fans have been calling out for the duo to be given a chance at Stamford Bridge and the time could finally come this summer.

Tuchel said: "They will come back for sure. I want to have them in pre-season.

"We will decide in pre-season what goes on. It is heavily up to Broja and Gallagher - and how they do."

While Chelsea are keen to bring Gallagher back to West London, Crystal Palace want to keep him at Selhurst Park.

Eagles chairman Steve Parish is known to be a huge admirer of the young star.

He said: "We would love to have Conor Gallagher back, I am not going to pretend that is not the case.

"Conor will make his own choices of course, and the club will have something to say about it, but we have enjoyed every minute of having him here this year.

"So if that is all we get of him, and I hope not, he has been a fantastic asset to the club as a player, and as a person as well."

Chelsea's first scheduled pre-season game will take place in Orlando, Florida on July 23.

They will take on London rivals Arsenal as part of their US tour.
