Chelsea are ready to offer Conor Gallagher to Brighton as part of a player-plus-cash deal to sign their star midfielder Moises Caicedo.
The Blues are currently in the pole position to land the Ecuadorian midfielder after Arsenal backed out of the deal, but Brighton are likely to demand a transfer fee of £100m for the 21-year-old. While Chelsea will look to negotiate a lower fee for Caicedo by including English international Conor Gallagher in a deal to try to convince the Seagulls to sell their star player, according to The Guardian.
Newly appointed Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will hope to secure the midfielder’s signature as he is set to lose three midfielders in the summer. While N’Golo Kante is set to complete a free transfer to Al-Ittihad, Mason Mount and Matteo Kovacic are linked with moves to Manchester United and Manchester City, respectively.
