Norwich interested in deal to sign Gallagher on loan

Norwich are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Chelsea forward Conor Gallagher on loan for the second-half of the season.

According to Football London, Norwich, West Brom and Burnley are among the clubs keen on the winger, who has been impressing on loan to Charlton in the Championship.

The report claims that Gallagher is willing to see out the season with Charlton, but Chelsea are still assessing his situation before the end of the month.

Gallagher has scored six and assisted four in a struggling Charlton side this season, which suggests that he does have the potential to play at a higher level. Norwich have struggled for goals outside of Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell this season, so adding another threat at the top end of the pitch would be smart business by the club.

After Patrick Roberts was sent back to Manchester City, Norwich have spare loan spots available to bring players in from fellow Premier League clubs. This means that they could sign Gallagher if Chelsea decided to recall him from Charlton and loan him out to a Premier League side.

The 19-year-old is a technically gifted midfielder, who likes to dribble and play short passes with his teammates to open space. This fits Norwich’s style of play, as they like to build their play through quick passes in the final third, rather than the direct approach other teams decide to take. This means that he would be a good fit for Norwich, if they are able to land him.
