Blackburn Rovers man on radar of Swansea City and Luton Town
Gallagher, 28, was linked with Ipswich Town back in January but ended up staying put at Ewood Park. The Tractor Boys have now been promoted to the Premier League and remain interested in luring him down to Portman Road.
In this latest update regarding the player’s situation by the Express, Luton Town have been credited with an interest following their relegation from the top flight. Meanwhile, Swansea City have also placed him on their shortlist.
Blackburn Rovers ace eyed by Swansea City and Luton Town
Gallagher has a year left on his contract at Blackburn Rovers so his long-term future is up in the air in Lancashire.
Rovers risk losing him for free in June 2025 unless they cash in on him now or in January.
He moved to his current club back in 2019 and has since been a key player for them ever since.
The former England youth international has made 188 appearances in all competitions to date and has scored 37 goals.
Gallagher was on the books at Plymouth Argyle as a youngster in their academy before Southampton signed him in 2012.
He then went on to play 26 games for the Saints, finding the net twice, as well as having loan spells away at MK Dons, Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City to get some experience under his belt
Where next?
Swansea City are gearing up for Luke Williams’ first full campaign at the helm and could see Gallagher as someone to lead the line.
Luton Town will be eyeing an immediate return to the top flight and Rob Edwards remains in charge at Kenilworth Road.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town may still try and target the Devon-born man as they prepare for life at the top level.
