Euro 2024: Inside Conor Gallagher’s Love Life As Southgate Turns to Chelsea Star

• Gareth Southgate is expected to start Conor Gallagher in place of Trent Alexander-Arnold against Slovenia at Euro 2024
• The Three Lions boss is looking for a much better performance after they survived scares in their opening two games
• Gallagher has been dating Irish model Aine May Kennedy, who has been incredibly supportive of the Chelsea star's career

Conor Gallagher has never been a player of many sideshows - just pure dedication and love for the game. Born in Surrey, Gallagher grew up as a Chelsea fan but had to bide his time to represent the club he adored.

He had successful loan spells at Charlton Athletic, Swansea City, West Bromwich Albion, and Crystal Place before finally convincing the decision-makers in West London that he deserved a chance at Chelsea.

Gallagher set to start vs Slovenia at Euro 2024

And soon after, national team duty came calling as Gareth Southgate handed him his first senior cap in November 2021. He was an unused substitute in all of England's five games at the Qatar World Cup.

However, the tides have quickly changed, and as the Atheltic reports, the energetic midfielder is set to start England's last group game of Euro 2024. This will be his third appearance after coming off the bench in their opening two lacklustre performances.

Southgate now wants to trial a midfield combination of the Chelsea star and Declan Rice as he seeks to arrest the growing voices of disquiet about the Three Lions' showing in Germany.

Who is Conor Gallagher's girlfriend?

Kennedy is an Irish model who lives in London. A quick peek at her Instagram account, with more than 60,000 followers, shows that she loves visiting exotic places. Her mantra is 'Be happy, share happiness.'

She also incredibly supports Gallagher's career, as she always posts photos at Stamford Bridge when the stand-in Blues captain of the 2023/2024 season plays.

They don't have children yet but have a dog together, which has its own Instagram page of more than 1,000 followers.

The couple enjoys taking holidays together. Just before the England squad reported to camp for Euro 2024, Sports Brief reported that Gallagher was in Ibiza with his girlfriend. Kennedy is currently in Germany, cheering him and the Three Lions squad.

In Gallagher, Southgate will be hoping to find a balance and rhythm that has been lacking. The Trent Alexander-Arnold experiment in midfield failed to produce the desired outcome.

Surprisingly, the Chelsea star has yet to get a taste of action at Euro 2024 despite his record-breaking campaign in London.

England have failed to impress after two dull performances, leaving fans questioning if they can go all the way and win the trophy.
