Conor Gallagher: Aston Villa interested in signing Chelsea and England midfielder

Aston Villa have expressed an interest in signing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

The 24-year-old could face a summer of uncertainty as he enters the last year of his contract at Stamford Bridge – with no progress made in renewing his deal.

Villa have joined Chelsea’s London rivals Tottenham in showing interest, but England international Gallagher remains open to staying with his boyhood club, whom he joined at the age of eight.
