After hearing that Everton had offered £45m for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, TalkSPORT now claims that West Ham also want the Newcastle target on loan

After hearing that Everton had offered £45m for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, TalkSPORT now claims that West Ham also want the Newcastle target on loan, further heating up the competition to capture the England international.

The England star is expected to be in the middle of things on deadline day as the race heats up for Gallagher. According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton has made an offer of £45 million ($40 million + £5 million in add-ons) for the 22-year-old outstanding player.

There has been a persistent rumour that Gallagher will be leaving his current team. According to Keith Downie, Newcastle may make a late bid for a member of Gareth Southgate’s England side that played in Qatar. And this is despite the fact that the Toon signed Anthony Gordon.

For Gallagher, the price seems to be the same as the £45 million paid for Gordon. Everton, who just recently hired Sean Dyche as manager, isn’t the only team with interest, according to TalkSPORT. Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and West Ham are all interested in loaning a player.

Most Premier League teams would benefit greatly from acquiring Gallagher. Given Chelsea’s penchant for lavish spending, it’s possible that Gallagher might be traded. And especially if long-term proposals are being considered. True, but he’s still a kid.

In addition, Gallagher provides homegrown talent to the team, which is helpful for complying with European football registration regulations. Therefore, keeping him is in Chelsea’s best interest. The Chelsea management may favour a loan this month.

Chelsea may either sell him or send him on loan. Both the Blues and the player have a say in his future destination. Of all, Gallagher is no stranger to loan stints, and he may decide that it is finally time to depart permanently this time around.
