Conor Gallagher has been a revelation in the Premier League this season, which in turn, has attracted a number of admirers in the top flight. His performances have also seemed to impress his parent club, Chelsea, who are more and more likely to try to keep the Englishman at Stamford Bridge next season.
| Club | Latest Odds |
|---|---|
| Crystal Palace | 7/4 |
| Everton | 7/2 |
| West Ham United | 10/1 |
| Newcastle United | 12/1 |
Crystal Palace hosted Gallagher for the 2021/22 Premier League season, handing him 34 appearances in the Premier League, including being a part of 87% of Patrick Viera’s starting elevens. This helped The Eagles finish 12th in the league and go all the way to the Semi-final of the FA Cup, where Gallagher couldn’t play as Palace met his parent club Chelsea at Wembley.
The midfielder scored eight goals for The Eagles and assisted a further three for The Eagles in this Premier League season. This made him the second-highest scorer and assist-provider for Crystal Palace, seven goals behind Wilfred Zaha and three assists behind Michael Olise.
When Gallagher left Selhurst Park at the start of the summer, he left as Crystal Palace Player of the Season and with many wishing he would return during the summer transfer window. This move would be ideal for Palace, who have already seen what Gallagher can do in their side and the energy and skill he brings to their midfield.
Everton survived relegation by the skin of their teeth this season, Frank Lampard’s team finishing 16th, just four points from the drop. In fact, a 3 - 2 win over Gallagher and Crystal Palace in the penultimate game of the season helped secure The Toffees’ place in the Premier League for the 2022/23 season.
The Toffees will be looking to strengthen their squad this summer with hopes to avoid a repeat of their relegation scare this season and the addition of someone like Conor Gallagher could do just that.
Gallagher’s eight goals puts him just three adrift from Everton top scorer Richarlison and one goal ahead of Andros Townsend. Taking Townsend’s ACL injury, which brought his season to a premature end, bringing Gallagher in could alleviate some of Everton’s goal-scoring woes.
Everton are priced at 7/2 to acquire Gallagher for the 2022/23 season.
West Ham’s season ended with a Semi-final appearance in the Europa League, the furthest The Hammers had gotten in European competition since 2006, and finished seventh in the Premier League securing European football for next season albeit in the Europa Conference League.
With constant rumours of a potential Declan Rice departure and the emotional retirement of Mark Noble, the West Ham midfield could be severely impacted next season. With eight goals in the Premier League, Gallagher outscored all of the West Ham midfielders this season, meaning the Englishman could provide some important contributions from the midfield.
Though West Ham may not find themselves in the European competition they may have hoped, a strengthened midfield with Gallagher may allow The Hammers to go all the way and get their hands on some elusive European silverware and further challenge the traditional ‘big six’ in the Premier League.
West Ham United are priced at 10/1 to sign Gallagher this summer.
Newcastle United finished in 11th place, just a point above Gallagher and Crystal Palace after their upturn in form after Eddie Howe came in to replace Steve Bruce and spent a good amount in the January transfer window.
The Magpies are looking to spend big again, this time on bringing Gallagher to Newcastle. The Englishman would bring a youthful energy and an injection of life into the Newcastle midfield which consists of Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton who together only scored six goals in comparison to Gallagher’s eight.
The introduction of a 22-year-old midfielder who already has two seasons of Premier League experience and an eight-goal season would be a statement for the future for Newcastle looking to compete in the future.
Gallagher is priced at 12/1 to make the move from Stamford Bridge to St James' Park.
The arrival of Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United has signalled a big shuffle in the squad. There has already been an upheaval in players since the end of the season, with Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani leaving and Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard also being confirmed as departures from Old Trafford.
Ten Hag became known for his young Ajax teams, with the 2018/19 team who made it all the way to the Champions League Semi-finals with youngsters like Frenkie De Jong and Matthijs De Ligt. With this in mind, the addition of Conor Gallagher to Manchester United would make sense.
The young midfielder scored eight goals in the Premier League, just two goals behind Bruno Fernandes in seven fewer games. However, Gallagher still scored four more goals than Fred and six more than Scott McTominay, making Gallagher an obvious choice for Ten Hag and United.
