Newcastle United have reportedly made a bid for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher as they search for midfield reinforcements. The 22-year-old spent last season on loan with Crystal Palace and impressed to draw the attention of multiple Premier League clubs.
Palace are said to be interested in the star alongside West Ham, but Newcastle have now joined the race, according to 90min.com. The Blues academy graduate made a strong impression at Palace last season, scoring eight goals and providing five assists and making his England debut.
He did not start his side's first game of the season but did come off the bench, and with the rumours of Frenkie De Jong's imminent arrival, there may be even fewer opportunities for the youngster. With the levels of interest in the player, a permanent move with a buy-back clause could be an option for the Chelsea hierarchy.
