Crystal Palace are interested in signing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid, and they will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
Conor Gallagher needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at Atletico Madrid will not benefit him. With the World Cup coming up later this year, he will want to be part of the England national team. Returning to the Premier League would be ideal for him.
Crystal Palace are dreaming to secure his signature as per a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, and they believe that his past allegiance with the club could help them get the deal done.
The English international was excellent for Crystal Palace during his time at the South London club. They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Gallagher would be an exceptional acquisition.
Crystal Palace are performing in European football, and they have quality players at their disposal. They have a quality manager like Oliver Glasner as well. There is no reason why the Englis midfielder will not be attracted to the idea of joining his former club once again.
Spurs also keen on Gallagher
Meanwhile, a report by TEAMtalk has revealed Tottenham are prepared to step up their efforts to sign the player as well. There have been reports that they have made contact regarding a move in the winter transfer window.
Spurs need more drive and physicality in the middle of the park, and Conor Gallagher would be an ideal fit for them. Tottenham have been long-term admirers of the former Chelsea star, and they have tried to sign him in the past.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can get the deal done this time around. However, they are not alone in the battle to secure the Englishman’s services, as Manchester United are also keen on signing him. Recent reports have also claimed that the Red Devils lead the race to land him.
Gallagher needs to join a club where he will play regularly, and Crystal Palace and Tottenham will be able to provide him with that opportunity. However, Manchester United are also in a position to do that, as Manuel Ugarte has been a dud since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain 18 months ago.
It remains to be seen whether Atletico Madrid are prepared to sanction his departure on loan or permanently this month. Whoever ends up signing the 25-year-old English international will have a quality player on their hands.
The player will be desperate to get his career back on track, and his determination to succeed and secure a spot in England’s World Cup squad will be a huge bonus. The Gallagher has played in the Premier League before with Crystal Palace and Chelsea. The Englishman will be expected to hit the ground running, and he could transform either team with his performances.
