Conor Gallagher officially announced himself as a Crystal Palace player on Saturday afternoon in the Eagles’ 2-2 draw with West Ham United.
The 21-year-old, who joined Palace on a season-long loan deal earlier this summer, scored a brace for the south London club, as Patrick Vieira’s side earned a draw against the Hammers.
Gallagher spent last season on loan at West Brom, and there were suggestions that the midfielder could return to Chelsea and compete for a place in Thomas Tuchel’s team.

Eagles manager Vieira, when speaking about Gallagher following Saturday’s draw, mentioned how he saw both sides of the midfielder’s game at the London Stadium.
