Chelsea will make a decision on Conor Gallagher in the coming days amid interest from Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Discussing the latest on Gallagher’s future, Romano said as per CaughtOffside: “Interest is genuine and strong by both Newcastle and Crystal Palace since July, but it’s up to Chelsea.

“They will make a decision on many players in the next days, including Gallagher. Potter remains big fan of his potential but it has to be club decision together with the coach.”

Meanwhile, former Rangers striker Ally McCoist has urged Newcastle United to sign Gallagher this January.

“Conor Gallagher is the kind of player that I think Newcastle would be going for,” McCoist told talkSPORT.

“Young, hungry. The way he plays the game, the Newcastle fans would take to him. 

“He’s high energy, great effort. Perfect.”
