Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is ready to give on-loan West Brom midfielder Conor Gallagher a chance next season.
The midfielder, 21, has impressed on loan spells at Charlton, Swansea and most recently fighting relegation with West Brom.
Goal says he is well liked by the Blues hierarchy and has a good chance of being involved next season.
Ousting N'Golo Kante or Mateo Kovacic is a lot to ask although a potential move away for Jorginho may open up a space.
Fellow youngster Billy Gilmour has found it tough to break in under Tuchel, only being named on the bench twice for Premier League games since the German took charge.
And a host of talent including Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will also return from loan moves at the end of the season.
