Hull City and Blackburn Rovers reportedly want Southampton striker Sam Gallagher.

Hull City will move for Sam Gallagher if they are unable to sign Ashley Fletcher from Middlesbrough, with Blackburn Rovers also interested in the Southampton striker, according to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 63, Sunday, January 6, 2019).

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Hull want to sign former West Ham United striker on loan from Middlesbrough in the January transfer window.

If the Tigers are unable to strike a deal with Championship rivals Boro for the 23-year-old former Manchester United prospect, then they will turn their attention to Southampton striker Gallagher, according to the report.

The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 63, Sunday, January 6, 2019) has also claimed that Blackburn want the 23-year-old Englishman on loan.

Loan move away

Gallagher – who earns £40,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – is struggling for playing time at Southampton at the moment, and it does make sense for him to move to a club in the Championship on loan for the rest of the season in order to play competitive football.
