Connor Gallagher to refuse summer loan offers

Conor Gallagher is heading back to Chelsea after a season on loan at West Brom

The 21-year-old has shone while at the Hawthorns despite their relegation struggle.

He has played 28 times in all competitions for the Baggies and confirmed his Premier League potential.

And a host of top-flight sides were hoping to secure his services for next season. But according to The Sun, he will reject loan interest from Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United in an attempt to break into Tuchel’s plans.

The England Under-21 international is highly-rated at Stamford Bridge but with so much competition for places it remains to be seen if he will be given a shot with the Blues next term.
