According to Sky Sports Germany, West Ham are in advanced discussions to sign Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The broadcasters suggest [17 July] that the Hammers are interested in signing the England international and that it may cost them up to £30 million to do so.Following the record sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal, the London club is looking to add fresh midfielders.”Discussions with Gallagher are already well underway.” The cost would be between 25 and 35 million euros [£21.5-£30 million], according to Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Is it worthwhile to sign?
Gallagher is an all-action midfielder who may be a valuable addition, as could someone who can play the holding role.The Englishman excels at fast one-twos and utilizing his energy to sprint box to box and provide a goal-scoring threat.He may also be a crucial player to start the press and is often the most forward midfielder, which David Moyes would want.
Lucas Paqueta loves to play free eight, and with Gallagher, he will know that someone will cover for him as well.The 23-year-old is also good on the ball and may provide the missing link in this Hammers midfield ahead of the new season.It remains to be seen if they will make a move for him, and whatever they decide, they must act quickly because pre-season has already begun.
In other West Ham news, a super-rich club has initiated an investigation into a top player who may follow Declan Rice out the door, as his agency may arrange a transfer.
