Crystal Palace prepare mega offer for Conor Gallagher
It is an open secret that Crystal Palace need to sign a midfielder.
According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Crystal Palace are preparing mega offer for Conor Gallagher in January.
The 22-year-old’s contract at Chelsea is set to expire at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
The midfielder has featured in five matches for Chelsea this term in all competitions.
He is considered to be one of the best midfielders in England.
Patrick Vieira wants to sign a new midfielder and Gallagher is one of the names at the top of his wishlist.
The England international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of midfielder Vieira wants to target in the winter transfer window.
The 22-year-old will add a new dimension to Crystal Palace’s midfield.
According to the report, “Crystal Palace are planning a major January offer for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher. Gallagher has endured a rocky start to the season and was sent off in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Leicester City last weekend. He returned to Chelsea’s starting line-up for Saturday’s win over West Ham but competition for places is strong in their midfield. The Sun says Palace will try to sign Gallagher permanently in January if they can secure a deal for around £20million – plus add-ons. Gallagher scored eight goals and registered five assists in 39 appearances for Palace during last season’s loan. His form earned him a maiden first England call-up last November and he made his debut in a World Cup qualifier against San Marino. Gallagher will want to push for a place in Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad but will need to play regularly for Chelsea.”
