Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is enjoying his loan with Charlton Athletic.
Gallagher has been an ever-present in Charlton Athletic's midfield this season in the Championship.
He told chelseafc.com: "It's obviously a big step up but having a good season last year really helped me be ready to join a team in the Championship, both physically and with my confidence. I felt I was ready for the season and have got off to a good start so hopefully I can carry that on.
"At Chelsea, we're used to having the ball most of the game but at Charlton it's not like that as much. There is a lot more work off the ball so it's tougher during games. In the majority of matches, the opposition has more of the ball than us so a lot of my work is off the ball.
"When I get on it I have to make sure I look after it and do something with it. The Charlton team have players that are really good at that which is why we've done so well in the first 11 games."
