Now, Gallagher has revealed that Potter has ensured he will play a key role for Chelsea this season.

“He said I’ve got a really important role and I need to keep working hard, remembering who I am and what I am best at, and when given the chance to be as effective as I can be,” said Gallagher, as relayed by the Independent.

Gallagher spent the majority of his time with Crystal Palace playing in a midfield three, where he excelled.
