Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been reacting to an update regarding the Eagles’ pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

According to the Daily Mail, ‘Crystal Palace would like to sign him now’ – an intriguing eight-word transfer update.

The report claims that Blues boss Thomas Tuchel would like to take a closer look at Gallagher before making any decision, but it appears as if Palace want to land the 21-year-old as soon as possible.

Gallagher spent last season on loan at West Brom, making 32 appearances in all competitions. He netted twice during his temporary stay in the Midlands, with one of his goals actually coming against Palace in a 5-1 win for the Eagles.

Palace are still without a manager after Roy Hodgson left at the end of the previous campaign, but their hot-seat vacancy hasn’t appeared to have hindered their transfer plans.
