Aston Villa are watching Conor Gallagher's situation at Chelsea.

The England midfielder spent last season on-loan at Crystal Palace, where his form earned him a first Three Lions call.

Birmingham Live says Villa are aware of Gallagher's current situation at Chelsea.

The midfielder has three years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge and is unsure where he stands at Chelsea.

Gallagher played predominantly as a central midfielder at Selhurst Park last season, and Villa adding another player in that area of the pitch - after already signing Boubacar Kamara on a free transfer earlier this month - could mean outgoings are required.
