Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is delighted working with on-loan Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Vieira insisted it was a “joy" to work with Gallagher and believes that the youngster can continue to improve at Crystal Palace.
“Working with Conor, it's a joy really because he is a player who wants to fill his potential, he wants to learn and he wants to work hard and he's bringing this energy to the team," he said.
“The staff and myself are really enjoying working with him. He comes in every morning with a big smile on his face and is leaving the training ground with a big smile as well.
“When he's on the field he's working hard every single day and he is a player that wants to fulfil his potential and I think that is a really important tool to have as a player, to improve yourself and keep challenging yourself."
However, the former France international would not be drawn on whether the club would be interested in permanently signing Gallagher at the end of his loan deal next summer.
“It's really too early to talk about these kind of decisions," added Vieira. “We are really glad that he decided to come to our football club and I think we had the tools to attract him to our football club and I believe that he made the right decision, but what will happen in the future I think we have to wait a couple of months to talk about that."
