# Crystal Palace: Eagles make formal Conor Gallagher offer

**[Crystal Palace](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/crystal-palace-news/) have reportedly made a £27m bid for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher ahead of tonight’s [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clash at home to Brentford.**

### The Lowdown: Gallagher loan spell

Described as a [‘monster’](https://twitter.com/TomDutty/status/1503496820881772553) in midfield by journalist Tom Dutton, the England international enjoyed a brilliant loan spell under Patrick Vieira last season, making [39](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-gallagher/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/488362/verein/873) appearances in all competitions.

The 22-year-old won [Palace’s Player of the Season](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/conor-gallagher-wins-crystal-palace-player-of-the-season-2021-22/2022-05-10/) award and was also nominated for the [PFA Player of the Year](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/first-team/crystal-palaces-conor-gallagher-nominated-for-pfa-player-of-the-season/2022-05-20/) accolade.

The midfielder has struggled upon his return Stamford Bridge under Thomas Tuchel, receiving his [first career red card](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-gallagher/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/488362) at the weekend, and it looks as if the Eagles want to bring him back to Selhurst Park late in the transfer window after making an [approach](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/crystal-palace-news/crystal-palace-conor-gallagher-approach-transfer-news/) earlier in the month.

### The Latest: Palace bid

[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19644895/chelsea-conor-gallagher-crystal-palace-27m-transfer-bid/) relayed a report from [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0d4236a0-2773-11ed-a830-74a6c8fbb722?shareToken=a32ad02c7eeea8dd4f1dc56e1f3fd2a2) regarding Palace and Gallagher.

They claimed that a £27m offer has been tabled by Steve Parish and Dougie Freedman, with the Eagles hopeful that a permanent agreement can be reached.

### The Verdict: Statement…

Gallagher, who has scored [28](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-gallagher/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/488362) senior goals during his career, starred under Patrick Vieira last season, so it makes sense for Palace to test the water with a late offer.

The midfielder hasn’t had the best of starts to the season with Chelsea, with his [first start](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-gallagher/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/488362/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) coming in a 3-0 defeat to Leeds.

He followed that up with a red card against Leicester, so all parties involved may well be open to the idea of a £27m move, making this one to watch prior to Thursday’s deadline.
