Conor Gallagher, a midfielder for Chelsea, is supposedly a target for Aston Villa.
The Englishman attracted the attention of Steven Gerrard's team with his outstanding displays while on loan at Crystal Palace the previous season. On the Que Golazo Podcast, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Villa manager Steven Gerrard is a huge fan of Gallagher and might try to sign the 22-year-old.
Before making his first-team debut in 2019, Gallagher, 22, spent 11 years at Chelsea's development academy. In the 2019–20 season, he was assigned to Charlton Athletic and Swansea City on loans.
While on loan with West Bromwich Albion for the 2020–21 campaign, he unable to capitalise on his chances. The midfielder signed a season-long loan with Crystal Palace. With eight goals and five assists in 34 Premier League games as Palace ended 12th, Gallagher excelled there under Partick Vieira. He received the "Player of the Year" award from Crystal Palace.
The England international is back at Stamford Bridge, where he will hopefully get a chance to show his talent. To increase his chances of reaching Gareth Southgate's England roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year, Gallagher will be anxious to establish himself as a regular starter. Gerrard, on the other hand, is eager to boost his Villa team after placing 14th the previous year. They have acquired Boubacar Kamara, Diego Carlos, and Robin Olsen in addition to signing Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona. Gallagher might be the following.
Chelsea is unlikely to consider Conor Gallagher's offers.
During his season-long loan with Crystal Palace, Conor Gallagher developed into one of England's most promising young players. He made an impression thanks to his work ethic, persistence, goal-orientedness, and capacity for being in the right place at the right time.
Last season, the Blues struggled with a dearth of midfield goals. Just 11 Premier League goals were scored by Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, and Ross Barkley combined.
The Blues' midfield is also getting older. With only one year remaining on their deals with the club, Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are both in their 30s. They are hence unlikely to permit Gallagher to depart.
