Jose Enrique, a former Liverpool left-back, has praised Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, who is presently on loan at Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old midfielder, according to the Spaniard, would "fit perfectly" into Jurgen Klopp's style at Anfield.
Gallagher has been a standout performer for Patrick Vieira's side this season, scoring eight goals and assisting three times in 26 Premier League matches. He has been a key figure in the Eagles' recent success, with the team now sitting in ninth place in the league table. Fans and commentators alike have praised his hard ethic, darting runs from midfield, and crunch tackles.
Enrique has just joined the list of admirers, praising the England international on Twitter. This came after Crystal Palace's 3-0 Premier League victory over Arsenal on Monday.
The following was Enrique's tweet: "Gallagher will be fantastic at LFC. What a performer. I adore his presence and the energy with which he performs. It'll be ideal for Klopp's style of play "Gallagher's Chelsea contract expires in 2026. While Enrique believes Gallagher would be a fantastic match for Liverpool, the Blues may bring him back next season on loan.
