Declan Rice, an Arsenal and England midfielder, has recently praised a Chelsea player, expressing confidence in his continuous improvement. These comments were made in the context of England’s Euro 2016 match against Slovenia in Germany, a game where Rice is expected to play a key role.
It appears that Conor Gallagher from Chelsea will join Rice in the England midfield, replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold. This adjustment by Gareth Southgate is the only change in the lineup as the team aims to secure a spot in the knockout stages and respond to recent criticism with a strong performance.
Gallagher, despite having only two substitute appearances so far in the tournament, is set to make his first start tonight.
Rice has been vocal in his support for Gallagher, sharing his thoughts on social media platform X. He highlighted Gallagher’s impressive season at Chelsea, stating, “You’ve seen Conor Gallagher’s season this year at Chelsea and if he does start, I think you’re going to see exactly what he has done at Chelsea this year. He surprised a lot of people. On the ball, off the ball, what he gives for the team, how unselfish he is.”
Gallagher has indeed had a commendable season with Chelsea, becoming a regular starter under manager Mauricio Pochettino. However, his future with the club remains uncertain.
Speculation persists about whether Chelsea will offer him a new contract or decide to sell him during the summer transfer window to balance their financial situation.
A strong performance by Gallagher in tonight’s match and potentially throughout the remainder of the Euros could influence Chelsea’s decision regarding his future.
If he excels, the club might be persuaded to extend his contract. Conversely, they might already be planning to sell him, regardless of his performance, to address their financial needs. Only time will reveal the outcome.
