Palace, where the 22-year-old spent this season, have also been mentioned. However, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed that he will return to Cobham, where the German will take a look at him.

“They [Gallagher and Armando Broja] will come back for sure,” the Blues boss was quoted as saying by the Daily Echo earlier this month.

“I want to have them in pre-season and we will decide in pre-season what goes on. It is heavily up to them and how they do.”
