Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo has praised his outgoing teammate Conor Gallagher, describing him as an amazing player
The England international has been linked with a move away from west London, with only a year left on his current deal.
Reports indicate that Gallagher has agreed to join Atletico Madrid from Chelsea this summer.
The Spanish side is reportedly nearing the completion of an agreement for the services of the midfielder.
According to Sky Sports, Atletico Madrid will pay £34 million to finalize the deal.
Caicedo, who joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023, has played 47 matches with Gallagher without any joint goal contributions. Despite this, Caicedo holds his teammate in high regard.
When asked if Gallagher would be leaving the team, Caicedo said (via @NizaarKinsella), “I just can say Conor is a top player. I enjoy playing alongside him. He’s an amazing player. That’s it.”
