A stunning compilation of Conor Gallagher's performance against Club America shows he's ready to star for Chelsea next season.
The 22-year-old impressed on loan at Crystal Palace last season, scoring eight goals in the Premier League.
He returns to Chelsea full of confidence, with Thomas Tuchel handing the energetic midfielder a start in their pre-season fixture against Club America on Sunday.

And he made the most of his opportunity, delivering a stellar showing in the middle of the park.
Gallagher showed off his range of passing and started attacks, making bursting runs from midfield.
He was robbed of an assist when he brilliantly played in Kai Havertz, who fluffed his lines in front of goal.
Twitter user @Chels_HQ shared a video of Gallagher's showing in pre-season and it makes for impressive viewing.
Needless to say, his outing in Las Vegas got Chelsea fans talking online.
One tweeted: "Convinced that he'll be a starter under Tuchel."
A second wrote: "This is like a new signing for us. He will bring so much to the team."
A third added: "This guy will be important for Chelsea."
Speaking after the 2-1 victory, Tuchel spoke glowingly of Gallagher and believes he can be a 'big asset' for the Blues next season.
“Conor trains at a really high level, and you can clearly see it was the right decision to let him go on loan," said the German.
"He made a huge step in his development at Palace and became an England player.
“It was a very good start and a good match for him. Now it's important he gets used to our principles of the game, to understand when to move and when not to move, and his work rate is outstanding. He can be a big asset for us."
