Former Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson thinks that Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher would jump at the chance to join Liverpool if they offer him game time.

Johnson told Betfred: “He certainly has potential and he has a lot to learn.

“He’s capable of eventually being good enough to play for Liverpool, but I don’t think he’s quite there yet. He can certainly kick on under a good manager and you can understand why Liverpool are in the market for him.

“He’s not getting a lot of game time for Chelsea and he’s going to want to go and play, so Liverpool may be able to get him for relatively cheap.

“I think he would bite Liverpool’s arm off to get that opportunity if I’m being honest.”
