Chelsea make transfer decision on young midfielder

Chelsea are prepared to part ways with Conor Gallagher when the transfer window reopens this summer.

The Blues graduate had a wonderful loan spell with Crystal Palace last term but he has struggled to replicate those performances.

Hence, there has been regular speculation regarding his future and The Daily Mail cite that the club are willing to sanction his exit.

Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion and Borussia Dortmund are among sides interested in signing the 23-year-old.

Chelsea are likely to demand £40 million for the England international, who bagged eight goals and five assists for Palace last term.

The Eagles were also linked with a permanent move earlier in January but Gallagher may prefer to join a more reputed outfit.

Gallagher will most likely give preference to a top European club that will be playing Champions League football next season.

As things stand, Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund seem best placed to land his signature during this summer's transfer window.
