Crystal Palace is refusing to give up on signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea even though the Blues rejected their offers for his signature this summer.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at Selhurst Park and he was one of the best players in his position in the Premier League.
His form for the Eagles even earned him a place in the England national team and he will be keen to feature at the World Cup.
Chelsea refused to sell him this summer despite interest from Palace and Everton and they expect him to become a key member of their squad.
The midfielder will, however, face competition from several players to play at Stamford Bridge and Palace would be waiting to pounce and sign him.
Matchplug understands that they will offer £20million – plus add-ons for his signature in the January transfer window if he does not cement a place in the Chelsea first team in this first half of the campaign.
The midfielder might love the idea of moving to Patrick Vieira’s side after enjoying his time with them last season.
