Vieira: It's a dream to have Gallagher, he may have Lampard-like finishing abilities

Livestream On 15 December, ahead of the home game against Southampton, Crystal Palace boss Vieira spoke about midfielder Gallagher on loan from Chelsea. Vieira said the player would give everything when he came on the pitch and it was the coach's dream to have such a player.

Vieira said: "It's a coach's dream to have a player like Gallagher and when he's on the pitch, he gives everything. He's focused and always gives it his all, which is really really important to me. When Gallagher came on, he was passionate about the game, like Ray Palo, but I would say he could have the finishing power like Lampard. ”

"What I can tell you is that at his age, it's important to be able to play every week. It's clear that your career depends not only on your talent, but also on the decisions you make, and behind him there are plenty of clubs chasing him. He made the right decision because he got playing time, it was great and everyone at this club was around him and they took good care of him. ”

"People will give him confidence, let him express himself, it's a win-win situation and having a player like that is a good thing for us because he's very talented. On the other hand, he himself made the right decision, he decided to come here and we offered him everything he had hoped for. It's important now to keep that performance going and we hope he can get to a different level. ”
