CON ON MOUNT CLIMB
CONOR GALLAGHER wants to follow Mason Mount by planting his flag in the Premier League – starting today against Leeds.
Gallagher, on loan at Swansea from Chelsea, watched Mount go from his loan at Derby to a regular start at Stamford Bridge.
Now he wants to fire the
Swans into the play-offs and follow the same route.
“I believe I’m good enough to get into the Chelsea team,” said the midfielder, 20, who has played 41 matches for Swansea and Charlton this season.
“Whether they think I’m ready or not is a different question.
“Me and a lot of other young
Chelsea players have been given a lot of hope from seeing what Frank Lampard has done.
“Mason Mount was playing in the Championship last season with Derby and he did well.
“He got his chance at Chelsea and he’s been one of their best players this season.”
