The Verdict is In: Spanish Press Impressed with Conor Gallagher’s Atletico Madrid Debut
Conor Gallagher’s move to Atletico Madrid has barely been a month old, but the Spanish press have already made their minds up about the Chelsea star’s start to life in La Liga. And, impressively, it’s a resounding thumbs up from the Spanish media.
In an exclusive interview with Football España, journalist Matteo Moretto praised Gallagher’s impact on the team, stating that the 24-year-old midfielder "undoubtedly one of the signings that has caused the most impact in La Liga. He provides lungs in midfield for Atletico Madrid, a footballer who makes a difference due to the quantity and quality of his plays."
Moretto also revealed that Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta was "insistent" on securing Gallagher’s signature, pushing hard to make the deal happen despite the player being deliberative over the move. "Atleti was the club that pushed the most, knowing that Chelsea would not want him to continue at another Premier League team," Moretto explained.
Gallagher’s impressive start to life in Spain has also seen him score two goals in five games, an impressive return for a player who was previously plying his trade in the English Premier League. His tireless midfield play has been a breath of fresh air for Atletico Madrid, and it’s little wonder that the Spanish media are already singing his praises.
But what does the future hold for Gallagher in Spain? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – Atletico Madrid have struck gold with this signing, and the Spanish press will be keeping a close eye on the midfielder’s progress.
