Newcastle United are pushing hard to complete a season-long loan deal for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher before the end of the summer transfer window next week.
The Magpies have already secured the signing of Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak for a club record fee, following Callum Wilson’s latest injury blow, and are now hoping to get more deals over the line ahead of deadline day.
Gallagher could well be the next to walk through the doors on Tyneside, with the Blues set to make a decision over his playing time as he eyes a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup in November.
