Nottingham Forest have been dealt a transfer blow over their reported interest in Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The 22-year-old rose to prominence during a successful loan spell at Crystal Palace last term, where he registered 13 goal involvements and earned his England debut. Gallagher then returned to his parent club and finally made his Chelsea debut on the opening day of the season.
He has made 24 appearances so far across all competitions but has continued to be in and out of the team under Graham Potter, being handed 10 starts in total. Gallagher's situation reportedly prompted interest from Forest this month, with Steve Cooper having twice worked with Gallagher during his time as England u17s and Swansea City boss.
