Some Leeds United and rival fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.

According to The Daily Mail, Leeds are interested in signing Gallagher from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the Whites – who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship – have made an enquiry about the 20-year-old midfielder.

The report has not stated if the West Yorkshire outfit want a loan deal or a permanent contract, and has suggested that Chelsea will make a decision regarding his future in the coming days.

A separate report in Football.London has claimed that Leeds are willing to sign the youngster on a loan deal with an option to buy or on a permanent contract now, but Chelsea do not want to sell the England Under-21 international.

Gallagher spent the first half of the past season on loan at Charlton Athletic and the second half on loan at Swansea City.

During his loan spell at the Addicks, the midfielder made 25 starts and one substitute appearance in the Championship, scoring six goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Some Leeds fans have given their take on the speculation on Gallagher, and so have some supporters of rival clubs and Chelsea.
