There is an expectation that Conor Gallagher will depart Chelsea this summer, football.london understands. The Blues midfielder is subject to interest from the likes of Newcastle United and West Ham amid what is expected to be a high turnover summer at Stamford Bridge.
The 23-year-old was subject to transfer interest in January, with Everton making a late bid in excess of £40million, after Newcastle and Crystal Palace sounded Chelsea out over a possible loan. Graham Potter was keen to keep the midfielder however, with Gallagher unattracted by a move to the Toffees and happy to remain in west London provided he had the opportunity to play. Liverpool are also said to hold an interest.
Already this summer Mateo Kovacic, N'Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek appear to have made ground in departing Chelsea with the latter appearing to say goodbye to supporters on the final day of the season. Kante's deal will expire at the end of the month and a move to Saudi Arabia seems likely too.
