Conor Gallagher reacts to Frank Lampard comparisons

Crystal Palace midfielder Conor Gallagher has responded to recent comparisons to Frank Lampard.

The 21-year-old is spending the season on loan with the Eagles from Chelsea, and he has been a crucial part of the squad throughout the campaign.

The England international has made 18 appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring seven times in the process and Patrick Vieira recently compared him to Lampard.

Gallagher was on the scoresheet in the most recent Crystal Palace fixtures which saw his team draw 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion, and then he addressed the praise.

"Let us be serious, Frank Lampard, I cannot be compared to someone like that. I could not be happier when it went in. I was just trying to get contact on it! I did try and get it in the corner, I did not even look up I do not think," the midfielder said.

The Eagles will be back in action next Sunday when they host Liverpool in the Premier League.
