Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is joining Crystal Palace on a season loan as the Selhurst Park club continue their recruitment drive.
Gallagher, 21, who spent last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, was also wanted by Leeds United but he felt their was greater chance of regular game time at Palace plus the prospect of staying in London and working with ex France midfielder Patrick Vieira appealed.
Palace signed Joachim Andersen from Lyon this week and still want to add another midfielder plus another attacking player and cover for Wilfred Zaha.
