West Ham are set to move in for Conor Gallagher, with Moises Caicedo closing in on a move to Chelsea this summer.
According to TEAMtalk, a move for West Ham to sign Conor Gallagher is very much on in the summer transfer window, although Tottenham want the 23-year-old as well.

Chelsea want around £50 million for Gallagher – a player West Ham have been chasing all summer long it seems.
Now though, Hammers boss David Moyes will have a great chance to prise him away from Stamford Bridge, with Moises Caicedo close to joining the Blues.
And it seems as though the Scot is not prepared to take no for an answer when it comes to signing Gallagher this summer…
‘Eye-catching’ Conor Gallagher to West Ham transfer could well be on
TEAMtalk reckon that the Hammers and Tottenham will move to sign the 23-year-old England international once Caicedo’s move from Brighton to Chelsea goes through.
I think Gallagher will be excellent for West Ham, but the £50 million that the Blues are demanding does seem to be a little excessive.
£35-40 million would be a fair price in my opinion.
Football.London have described the 23-year-old as ‘incredible’, and on his day he really is a very good player.
He has bundles of energy, stamina and athleticism and would be ideally suited to playing the attacking midfield role at the London Stadium.
If West Ham sign Conor Gallagher from Chelsea this summer I’ll be absolutely delighted.
However, I just can’t see the Hammers owners spending anything like £50 million on him.
