Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher has reportedly told the club he would prefer a move to Newcastle United over Everton after the Toffees tabled a £40 million bid.
Gallagher was seemingly on top of Sean Dyche’s transfer list and the first order of business today at Finch Farm was an approach to try and sign the 22-year-old.
However, Newcastle reporter Craig Hope of The Mail has stated that Gallagher would rather join the Magpies over Everton if he was to leave the Blues this month.
Conor Gallagher £45m offer from Everton. Player wants to stay at Chelsea but could be told he’s got to go, in which case Newcastle (or top 6 club) would be desired. NUFC would need to put together a loan + obligation of at least £45m. Howe a big admirer. W/ colleague Simon Jones.

Deadline day could be key to Gallagher’s Chelsea future
The England international is a graduate of Cobham academy and has been keen to cement in place in the starting eleven under Graham Potter, however, he may fall further down the pecking order if the club can oversee the signing of World Cup starlet Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.
The two clubs are in talks and Todd Boehly is adamant about bringing the Argentine to London this winter. If it happens, Gallagher may be heading out the door to make way for Fernandez.
Gallagher should not be sold , he gives 100% when he plays . Sell Loftus Cheek instead often wanting on the pitch always injured
Is Madison’s desd? Because his deal will be a good signing for January’s
