After selling Alexis MacAllister to Liverpool, the Seagulls are looking to add midfielders to their roster. Moises Caicedo, who is in high demand, may possibly depart the team during this transfer window.
Gallagher, an England international who played 45 times for Chelsea during their disastrous 2022–23 season, was the result of their quest.
After a standout loan stint at Brighton's rivals Crystal Palace, where he won the team's player of the year title, he returned to Stamford Bridge. Results and performances for the Eagles significantly declined after his departure.
According to 90min, Gallagher is seen as the perfect replacement for Mac Allister by Brighton, and the 23-year-old is eager to work with Roberto De Zerbi and participate in the team's inaugural Europa League campaign.
Although Gallagher is a natural central midfielder, Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard used him as a number 10 and a withdrawn center striker at the conclusion of the season.
Other Premier League teams are interested in Gallagher besides Brighton. He is on the short lists for the midfield positions at West Ham United and Newcastle United, respectively. Tottenham has shown interest in the past, but is now rumored to be prioritizing a deal for James Maddison of Leicester City.
In the upcoming weeks, Gallagher might not be the only player to quit Chelsea. Mason Mount is reportedly a target for Manchester United, who had a £40 million deal rejected by the Blues. Kai Havertz, meanwhile, has surfaced as an unexpected target for Arsenal.
The Seagulls think they have a good chance of closing a deal and are willing to send Caicedo to Chelsea in exchange for Gallagher as a makeweight.Conor Gallagher, a midfielder for Chelsea, is sought after by a number of Premier League teams, including West Ham United, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur. However, Brighton & Hove Albion is in transfer negotiations and is optimistic about reaching a deal.
In the 2022 UEFA Champions League championship game, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 1-0. Zinedine Zidane and Jude Bellingham attended that game together at the Stade de France, and Jude Bellingham has stated that this game was a major factor in his decision to relocate to Spain.
