One pundit has made a comparison between one current Chelsea player and Dele Alli when in his prime at Tottenham, ironically under Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine is now of course managing Chelsea, and he is now managing midfielder Conor Gallagher.

EXCLUSIVE! Victor Osimhen's stance on whether he wants to join Chelsea or not - plus Chelsea's current stance on signing him!

And it is him that is drawing Alli comparisons from former player turned pundit Darren Bent this week.

Gallagher has been absolutely superb under Pochettino for Chelsea this season and is up there with one of their top performers so far.

Bent is comparing Gallagher's improvements to when Pochettino improved Alli at Spurs and turned him into one of their most important players at that time.

Of course, in terms of playing style they are different players, but in terms of impact on each team, you can see the comparisons there.

Darren Bent: "Conor Gallagher [improving] almost reminds me of when Mauricio Pochettino got ahold of Dele Alli, and look what he turned him into."

Pochettino is know for improving and managing young players well, and Bent believes they will all benefit from that.

Darren Bent: "As a young player under Mauricio Pochettino, you must be rubbing your hands together. Cole Palmer must be thinking, 'Wow, I've had Pep, who is the best, now I'm getting another unbelievable teacher in Pochettino'."
