Leeds eyeing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher

Leeds United are eyeing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

The Daily Mail says the energetic 20-year-old was outstanding for Swansea City in the Championship last season and is expected to discuss his next move with Chelsea this week.

A number of Premier League sides have asked to be kept informed as well as most of the Championship.

Chelsea are understood to be leaning towards sending him out on another loan rather than selling at this stage.

Leeds are exploring a number of options to strengthen their frontline and midfield while they also want cover at left-back and centre back which is a priority.

Marcelo Bielsa, who is close to extending his contract this week, is keen to re-sign Ben White from Brighton but that will be difficult.

They have also considered Arsenal's Rob Holding.
