Conor Gallagher Shines at Atletico Madrid After Controversial Chelsea Exit as Levi Colwill Praises Former Teammate
Conor Gallagher has been making a strong impression since his summer move to Atletico Madrid, despite his departure from Chelsea being unpopular among fans.
Forced out of the club due to circumstances beyond his control, Gallagher has quickly endeared himself to Atletico supporters, becoming a fan favorite in the Spanish capital.
His recent performances have proven his worth, with a key goal in Atletico’s 1-1 draw, further cementing his impact.
At Chelsea, his absence hasn’t been overly felt due to the team’s strong performances under new manager Enzo Maresca. Chelsea’s 3-0 win against West Ham marked their third consecutive away victory, with standout performances from Moises Caicedo and Levi Colwill.
Colwill, who has been excelling at Chelsea, praised his former teammate Gallagher on social media after his goal for Atletico, showing the bond they share.
The young defender has been statistically the best-performing defender in the Premier League this season, flourishing in his natural position at center-back.
Colwill’s partnership with Wesley Fofana has been solid, with both players starting consistently under Maresca, contributing to Chelsea’s strong defense.
Additionally, new signing Tosin Adarabioyo impressed in his first Premier League start, indicating that he could be one of the most promising transfers of the summer. Overall, while Gallagher is thriving in Spain, Chelsea’s squad has managed to maintain balance and perform well without him.
