Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is reportedly edging closer to a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Conor Gallagher could leave Chelsea this summer with Brighton in talks to sign the midfielder. 

Gallagher to Brighton?

Gallagher is wanted by several Premier League sides, including Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham but the Seagulls are in advanced discussions according to 90min. 

Brighton interested in Chelsea's Conor Gallagher

The 23-year old featured 45 times for Chelsea last season and was one of their bright sparks during the disastrous reign of Frank Lampard. 

He returned to Stamford Bridge last summer following an impressive loan spell at Crystal Palace, where he was voted player of the year.

The report further states that  Brighton view Gallagher as an ideal replacement for Mac Allister, and the 23-year-old would be keen to work with Roberto De Zerbi and play in the club's maiden Europa League campaign.
