Aston Villa have opened talks with Chelsea over a deal for Conor Gallagher. Unai Emery is desperate to sign the England midfielder, who is expected to cost at least £50m, and is looking to move quickly in an attempt to land one of his key summer targets.
Tottenham also retain an interest in Gallagher, who has a year left on his contract, and the 24-year-old could be in even bigger demand if he impresses for England at Euro 2024.
