And the person who can travel to Villa Park is Connor Gallagher.<\/p>\n<p>Gallagher, who had been linked to Newcastle in recent weeks, has been able to return to the Premier League, where he had a rather difficult first season at Atletico Madrid, who joined from Chelsea last summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Aston Villa registers interest in Conor Gallagher<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Warm up for Atletico Madrid Connor Gallagher (Photo by Florencia Tanjun\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to a soccer insider, Pete O&#8217;Rourke has revealed that Aston Villa is one of the clubs that interest Gallagher.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not surprising that there&#8217;s interest from Premier League clubs. He&#8217;s a top player and shows that not only for Chelsea and his other clubs, but also for England.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It depends heavily on where Gallagher sees his future. There will be a big year in which he wants to play regularly to infiltrate Thomas Touchel&#8217;s England team. He joined Atletico last year for around \u00a340 million from Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if Premier League clubs are willing to go to these levels for Gallagher, but if Atletico puts him on the market, it&#8217;s not surprising that Newcastle, Everton and others are looking at Connor Gallagher.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aston Villa is also interested, because he is a proven Premier League player. They are in the race, and if he becomes available, he will be interested.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if Gallagher will return to England later this summer. Aston Villa will be a good move for him, but Atletico&#8217;s asking price will thwart any pursuits in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conor Gallagher can return to the Premier League (Photo: Jose Breton\/Photo Action\/Nul Photo via Getty Images) Aston Villa is looking to strengthen their team now that PSR concerns have been resolved over another season.
