TUG-OF-WAR OVER CONOR

Crystal Palace have not given up hope of bringing Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher back to Selhurst Park next season. The midfielder has been a revelation for the Eagles, scoring eight goals and providing five assists after he made a temporary switch from Stamford Bridge. But Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has said he would be happy to welcome the 22-yearold back into his first-team squad next season.
