Michael Bridges "rates" Conor Gallagher and believes Newcastle United should make a move for the forgotten man before the transfer window slams shut. The Blues' outcast, a player understood to be on the Magpies' radar, has endured a tough season at Stamford Bridge.
An impressive campaign on loan at Crystal Palace last year was expected to propel him into the first-team picture but, due to the Chelsea's lavish spending, he has fallen down Graham Potter’s pecking order. The arrival of Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix this month is only going to diminish his opportunities further.
A trio of Blues rejects have been linked with a move to St James' Park. Hakim Ziyech and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are players who are also reported to be attracting interest from Newcastle.
