Crystal Palace pipped Leeds United to a deal for midfielder Conor Gallagher on Friday evening.

The Eagles announced 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 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 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 to help Palace to a 3-1 pre-season win against Reading.

Palace fans react

The Eagles posted the news regarding Gallagher signing on their official Twitter page. This is what these fans had to say in reply, with one labelling a deal as ‘quality’.
