Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been linked with a loan move to Newcastle United as he searches for regular first team football ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
Thomas Tuchel says Gallagher is welcome to stay and 'fight' for his place at Stamford Bridge but a loan move is a possibility. Tuchel has opted for N'Golo Kante and Jorginho as his central midfield pairing in their opening games against Everton and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
Gallagher is set to face tough competition for the two midfield slots in Tuchel's line-up with Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek also in contention. However, an injury to Kante in Sunday's London derby against Tottenham Hotspur could offer him a potential route into the side.
