Conor Gallagher netted for Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon during a 2-0 win over Manchester City – and Newcastle fans have reacted on Twitter.

Gallagher, 21, has earned rave reviews for his performances in a Crystal Palace shirt since joining the club on loan from Chelsea in the summer.

Patrick Vieira chose to bring him to Palace after he starred at West Brom – and Swansea beforehand. But his form is hitting new heights this term.

Having drawn four straight games, Palace proved to be a bogey side for Manchester City again – winning 2-0 at The Etihad, against 10 men.

It was only Palace’s second win of the season, but they have only lost two of 10 as well. Gallagher has been a pivotal part of their revival under Vieira.

The on-loan Chelsea ace, rated at £15m (Sun), created the opener against City with an assist for Wilf Zaha. In injury time, he scored Palace’s second.

What are Newcastle fans saying about Chelsea loanee Gallagher?

Gallagher is a top player and with every performance, he is getting better and better. His value is likely to be a lot higher than the one reported.

The Mail say that Gallagher is a target for Newcastle, as he continues to shine at Palace. The owners are said to want to build for the future.

Gallagher is English and proven in the Premier League at 21. He is the kind of player Newcastle are said to want, but Chelsea will want to keep him.

Having watched Gallagher get his third of the season, his fifth goal involvement in nine games – Newcastle fans urged the board to get him.
