This Chelsea star tipped to take over from Mount

Former Man Utd star and football pundit Rio Ferdinand has tipped Chelsea star Conor Gallagher to take over from Mason Mount at Stamford Bridge in future.

Ferdinand, in his statement, is of the opinion that Gallagher, who is currently on loan at Crystal Palace, will break into the Blues’ first team next season.

The former Red Devils star claimed Gallagher, who has been impressive at Crystal Palace, is destined to take over from Mount.

As of now, Gallagher is Crystal Palace’s top scorer in the Premier League with seven goals.

Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel, Ferdinand said, “It looks like he’s (Gallagher) earned the right to go back to Chelsea when he’s a more mature player to now see where he’s at. When Mount went back, it was the same thing. They didn’t have to play him.”

Ferdinand added: “Mason Mount went back to Chelsea not knowing where he was in the pecking order, not knowing if he’ll get the chance. Conor Gallagher will do that and then Conor Gallagher will quickly find out if he’s going to get a chance or not. Then I think the decision should be to go.”
