Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher is a player in demand this January transfer window, despite currently being out on loan for the season at Charlton Athletic.

The 19-year-old has been in impressive form for the Championship outfit, scoring six goals and supplying three assists in 25 appearances across all competitions.

According to Football.London, Scottish giants Rangers are interested in trying to sign the teenager on loan.

It is understood that the likes of Burnley, Norwich, West Bromwich Albion, Millwall and Swansea are all keen too.

The report details that Gallagher is “split” on whether he wants to end his loan early to move elsewhere, but that he could be prepared to remain with Charlton as he’s settled.

Gallagher looks like he’s one from the loan army that could break into the first-team in the future, something which the likes of Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori have all mangled to do this season.

The central midfielder has been a key player in the Charlton team and it seems risky to change that midway through the season.

But on the flip side he looks ready to take on a challenge at a higher level, either in the Premier League or perhaps European football with interested outfit Rangers.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will be well aware of rising star Gallagher and a big decision needs to made over his future.
