NEWCASTLE are frontrunners in the congested battle to sign Conor Gallagher.
That's according to Sky Bet, who've installed Eddie Howe's side at 4/1 to clinch the midfielder's signature this summer.

However, there's no shortage of competition from the Premier League.
Everton are second in the betting market, while Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and West Ham are also in contention.
Gallagher has gone from strength to strength at Selhurst Park this season.
The 22-year-old scored eight goals and provided five assists in 39 appearances in all competitions last season.
His exploits earned him a first call up to Gareth Southgate's England squad in November, and has earned four caps since then.
Gallagher has returned to Stamford Bridge following the expiration of his loan spell at Crystal Palace.
But regular first-team football looks unlikely given the competition from international trio Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, and Mateo Kovacic.
Chelsea could therefore decide to cash in, with some reporting that his price tag could be upwards of £60million.

If Chelsea do sell — who is favourite to sign Conor Gallagher?
Newcastle are the current frontrunners at 4/1 with Howe eager to strengthen his side in a bid to improve on their 11th placed finish last season.
Everton, managed by former Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, are next in the market at 9/2, while Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are a fraction behind at 5/1.
West Ham are 12/1 but it's thought the Hammers are more interested in signing James Ward-Prowse from Southampton.
Fulham (16/1), Brentford (20/1) and Leeds (33/1) have all also been linked with the 22-year-old.
