# Crystal Palace: Eagles fans buzz at Conor Gallagher confirmation

**Crystal Palace [pipped](https://twitter.com/krishan_davis/status/1420722118887608327) Leeds United to a deal for midfielder Conor Gallagher on Friday evening.**

The Eagles [announced](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1421161545426509832) a season-long loan move for the Chelsea man, which led to a number of supporters sharing their positive thoughts on the confirmed news.

Gallagher has become Partick Vieira’s [fifth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873) summer signing, with Palace managing to lure the central midfielder to Selhurst Park just as it seemed he would be heading to Elland Road under Marcelo Bielsa.

The versatile midfielder had [agreed on terms and had a medical](https://twitter.com/krishan_davis/status/1420722118887608327) in Yorkshire, however, Palace managed to tempt Gallagher to stay in London.

The 21-year-old made his Eagles debut less than 24 hours after officially joining, coming on in the [second half](https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/five-takeaways-from-crystal-palaces-3-1-win-against-reading/) to help Palace to a 3-1 pre-season win against Reading.
