Conor Gallagher: Everton in transfer talks with Chelsea over deal to sign midfielder | Transfer Centre News
Everton are in talks with Chelsea over a deal for Conor Gallagher.
Sky Sports News has been told Everton have indicated a willingness to pay £40m plus £5m in add-ons to sign the England midfielder permanently.
At this point, everything is on the table for Gallagher – a loan, a permanent switch or staying at Chelsea, but a move away is more likely if the Blues complete a deal for Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
Newcastle and Crystal Palace also admire Gallagher, but Chelsea are not keen on loaning him to a club fighting for a similar league position.
If the 22-year-old is loaned out, it is more likely to be to a team in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Gallagher has made 18 appearances in the top flight this season, scoring one goal and registering one assist.
