Conor Gallagher on loan would be cracking signing for West Ham United
West Ham need to bolster their midfield this summer, and they have earmarked Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher as a potential option.
ExWHUemployee reported on 10 August that Gallagher has emerged as a “main priority” for the Hammers.
Chelsea have rejected the advances of the Hammers many times, but David Moyes must do everything to lure the midfielder to join the club this summer.
The Hammers have added Flynn Downes to their ranks, but David Moyes needs more quality in that department.
Declan Rice will stay for at least another year, while Tomas Soucek is another option for the club.
The Hammers have failed in their attempt to sign Amadou Onana, which shows they are willing to spend big if the right player is available.
Gallagher would be a tremendous signing for the club. He was outstanding on loan at Crystal Palace last season, and Chelsea want him to stay put.
Thomas Tuchel said on July 17 that Gallagher will be a “big asset” for the Blues, which clearly indicates that Chelsea have no intention to sell him. But, another loan spell away from the club is highly possible.
The 22-year-old is a dynamic midfielder who brings energy and quality to the middle of the park. He can score goals, can defend, can pick passes, but most importantly he brings a different dimension to the side.
If West Ham can get him on loan, it would be a transfer masterstroke from Moyes. He will a cracking addition, and the Hammers try their best to convince the player and the club that a loan spell at the London Stadium will benefit all parties involved.
