Aston Villa

Four sides chase Gallagher

|

Aston Villa, Wolves, Cardiff and Sunderland are all lining up bids for Sam Gallagher.

According to a report in the Daily Mail the Southampton striker will have his pick of a number of Championship clubs after an impressive season on loan at Blackburn.

With his contract at St Mary’s running until June 2018 Southampton will need to make a decision on his future with a transfer including a healthy sell on clause the most likely course of action.

Gallagher has scored 12 goals this season for Blackburn but with two matches left to play it looks like those goals will be in vain with relegation beckoning.

David Moyes watched the 21-year-old in action against Bristol City recently as the reality of Sunderland’s almost certain relegation is tackled.

Proven Championship goalscorers are in high demand with Southampton knowing that an auction could push the fee for Gallagher towards the £10m mark- the fee that Villa paid for Ross McCormack last summer.
