Conor Gallagher a shock target for Paris St Germain

PSG are readying a £40 million transfer offer for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, currently on loan with Crystal Palace. The starlet has emerged as one of the season's best young talents.

According to the Sun, Paris St Germain have sounded out Chelsea regarding a potential transfer move, and Gallagher himself is interested in a potential move to France. At Palace the youngster has already scored an impressive 6 goals in 17 games, leading to interest from across the continent in the midfielder's services.

Chelsea are known to be eager to keep hold of Gallagher, but cannot guarantee the 20-year-old regular first team football. For the player himself, the move to Palace was only intended to be a temporary one, and he has indicated that he would like to return to Chelsea if there is an opportunity to play on a regular basis.

Paris St Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino is a huge fan of Gallagher, and has already instructed his scouting staff to prepare a dossier on the midfielder's form in the Premier League and has been discussing with his board the release of funds to pay for the Chelsea man.
