Newcastle United have zeroed in on the Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher as a top target for what remains of this summer’s transfer window with Newcastle looking to splash the cash on a big-name signing.
Gallagher’s transfer status has been subject to much discussion over the course of the summer with the England international impressing during his season-loan loan stint last term with Crystal Palace.
His return to the Stamford Bridge fold ahead of the start of the 2022-23 campaign came amid speculation that some of the biggest clubs across the land were keen on moving in for the £40m-rated midfielder.
According to a report from The Sun, with Newcastle’s fading hopes of bringing in Leicester City playmaker James Maddison this summer, the Magpies are likely to switch their focus towards the Chelsea wantaway youngster Gallagher.
Chelsea have not signed a new midfielder despite their hefty spending in the transfer window with the Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel deciding to bolster his defense and forward rosters.
