# Leeds: Whites eye up move for Conor Gallagher

**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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/375621/Show/Conor-Gallagher) 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 Latest: Leeds keen on loan move

According to [*The Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9822727/Leeds-Crystal-Palace-hope-WEEK-Chelsea-let-Conor-Gallagher-loan.html), Leeds are interested in signing Gallagher on loan.

Crystal Palace are also seen as a possible suitor for the midfielder, who is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Blues.

### 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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/375621/Show/Conor-Gallagher) 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.
