Everton have ‘good chance’ to sign Chelsea ace Conor Gallagher on loan
Everton manager Frank Lampard has belief that he can prize Conor Gallagher away from Chelsea on loan, according to Football Transfers.
The 22-year-old has long been of interest to the Toffees boss who will have kept an eye on his progress while he was in the dugout at Stamford Bridge prior to joining Everton.
He now thinks that he has a “good chance” to bring the England international to Goodison Park this summer in plenty of time before the Premier League season starts in August.
There is an acceptance on Everton’s side that Chelsea may not want to sell him permanently this summer after he excelled while on loan at Crystal Palace last season but they do believe that a loan deal could be agreed.
Armando Broja is another Blues player that has interested Lampard and Everton but they face some stiff competition for the Albanian with West Ham United leading the race.
Sacrifice
There will not be a player who could make as much of an impact on the football club as Gallagher who comes available this summer for us to sign so we must do whatever it takes to reach an agreement with Lampard’s former employers.
Whatever money they ask for, we should give them (within reason of course) and if he wants to play in a certain position then we need to allow him to do so.
His attitude and enigma is very similar to that of Anthony Gordon who loves to get involved in a scrap on the pitch but they have that sparkle of quality that can win you any game.
We need to find a new matchwinner having recently sold Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur and Gallagher is the man to fill his void but we need Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea to cooperate on this.
The 22-year-old will want to be playing every single week and the Blues boss won’t be able to promise him that which may be the key to unlocking our door.
