Leeds United are eyeing up a loan move for Chelsea youngster Conor Gallagher, with the Blues considering the idea of letting him leave this summer.

The Lowdown: Gallagher impresses for West Brom

West Brom may have been relegated from the Premier League last season, but Gallagher did his best for the Baggies on loan, registering two goals and assists apiece in the competition.

The 21-year-old is now back at Chelsea, but with Thomas Tuchel building a formidable team at Stamford Bridge, he may struggle for playing time.

The Verdict: Clever piece of business?

Gallagher is an exciting young talent with great potential, so the idea of him playing for Leeds is a mouthwatering one.

Granted, it would likely only be a temporary move, but he could thrive working under Marcelo Bielsa and would bring more guile in attacking areas.

Gallagher also received 11 bookings in the league last season, showing that he is willing to battle - something that is required in this Leeds team. He'd be a very good loan signing for Leeds if they can get a deal done.
