Newcastle United remain keen on Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Newcastle have been tracking Gallagher since the end of last season.
Chronicle Live says high level Newcastle scouts have attended Stamford Bridge to watch Gallagher closely, including the recent 4-3 win over Manchester United and 2-0 victory against Tottenham.
Gallagher’s deal runs to 2025 and talks over a new agreement have stalled.
Chelsea will seek at least £40m to sell.
