Few young players have impressed more than Conor Gallagher in the Premier League this season.
On loan at Crystal Palace, the Chelsea academy graduate is showing his worth under Patrick Vieira.
The Eagles sit a healthy 10th in the Premier League despite a relatively slow start and having lost just two games out of 11, Vieira's side are proving to be a tough team to beat.
Gallagher has been key to their recent success, scoring four times from midfield and earning a number of Man of the Match awards along the way.
His performances have earned him high praise and some even believe he should have been called up to the England squad for the Three Lions' World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino.
Nevertheless, if there's one thing that seems like a certainty, it's that Gallagher will have his breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge next campaign.
And if he does, he'll be fulfilling a lifelong dream.
Speaking to ChelseaTV, via reddit, whilst on loan at Swansea in 2020, Gallagher spoke about what he will do to achieve his dream.
"My dream is to play for Chelsea," he said.
"It's the club I've loved since I was a little boy. I'm willing to do whatever I can, to work as hard as possible just to achieve that.
"It'll make my family so proud, It'll make me proud of myself so I'm looking forward to working hard and seeing if I can achieve that."
When asked what sort of player he is in another interview, Gallagher told Chelsea fans what he offers as a teammate.
"Well, I say a team player, hard-working and good desire."
Thomas Tuchel can expect to nurture another fine talent at Cobham next season, and at just 21 years of age, Gallagher has the potential to develop into one of the world's leading stars.
