West Ham United are reportedly eyeing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher as a potential summer transfer target- again!.
Irons want Gallagher
According to Chronicle Live, the Hammers are prepared to offer Chelsea a straight £40 million cash deal for Gallagher.
While Gallagher has emerged as a key player under manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea might be forced to sell him due to Premier League Financial Sustainability Regulations (PSR) rules.
With Lucas Paqueta’s expected departure and the disappointing loan spell of Kalvin Phillips, West Ham are in dire need of midfield reinforcements.
Gallagher’s Premier League experience, energy, and goal-scoring ability make him a perfect fit for West Ham’s midfield.
Gallagher, being a Londoner, would understand the significance of West Ham to the local community.His playing style would likely resonate with the West Ham fanbase.
Gallagher represents a strong transfer target and a wonderful opportunity for West Ham, but convincing both Chelsea and the player himself could prove challenging.
This story seems like it’s being recycled, Simon. I can’t honestly see that we’ll get anywhere with chasing Gallagher. Chelsea’s not interested and neither is he. He has also been the on field captain in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell so he’s obviously regarded highly at Chelsea. As the saying goes, it’s no use flogging a dead horse!
