He told talkSPORT: “I think for any football team would love to have Conor Gallagher.

“He’s so energetic, you look at him the way he plays, I think a lot of football fans see him play and would think ‘I would like him to be at my club’.”

“I say yes,” when asked if he would want him at Anfield. “I said he would be, not a replacement, not saying this for Jordan Henderson.

“But when Jordan moves on, or retires, or comes into a new football role, he [Gallagher] would be great for Liverpool.”

Before he added: “Him coming to Chelsea, I think it’s a perfect opportunity for him. As players, when an opportunity comes, you’ve got to take them and this one, I think Conor Gallagher will be looking at, as well as his representatives.

“Whether they are thinking what we can do next year. I think he will be looking at it and thinking: ‘I’m going to try my best and give everything at Chelsea.’”
