Newcastle told to take Gallagher punt
Newcastle United have been urged to sign Conor Gallagher this month with the midfielder struggling at Chelsea. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from west London recently amid a number of unconvincing displays.
And, former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan believes that Eddie Howe's side should wrap up a deal. Speaking to Football Insider, he said: "Chelsea will have to get rid of players for next to nothing because they seem to be spending and spending at the moment.
"I think Newcastle are the one Premier League team who can be appealing to these players — Gallagher, I can tell you now, is the one, for me. He appeals more than the other two because of his age and what he’s already done at Crystal Palace."

Ziyech talks
Another club is said to have joined the race to sign Hakim Ziyech as the Chelsea winger continues to generate interest. The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for some time now but the arrival Noni Madueke could be the final nail in the coffin.
According to Italian outlet Gianluca di Marzio, AS Roma have been in contact with Ziyech's entourage over a potential move this month. The report states that Jose Mourinho's side are preparing for the likely exit of Tottenham target Nicolo Zaniolo.
However, a move for Ziyech could be difficult to complete, with the Moroccan currently on €6million-a-year (£5.2million) in west London.
Bellingham decision
Chelsea have been given the clearest indication yet that a move for Jude Bellingham will be possible over the summer. The 19-year-old is set to be at the centre of one of the biggest transfer battles in recent history with Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid all keen to sign the England international.
According to the Daily Star, Bellingham is set to turn down a contract extension at Borussia Dortmund. He currently sees his deal at the Signal Iduna Park expire in two-and-a-half-years.
The report states that the German outfit are offering the teenage sensation double his current wages in a package worth up to £180,000 per week. Dortmund have accepted it will be tough to keep Bellingham, handing the likes of Chelsea a huge boosts in their missions to sign him.
